Some of this may be fixed in assorted Red Hat patches. Eel has its own
font system which is used if you turn on the "smooth fonts" option in
Nautilus preferences. This uses FreeType for rendering.

Some of the other font display bugs in Nautilus were just mistakes in
fontsets or assumptions about ascii. Again, much of it fixed in recent
patches, and mostly the relevant code is in Eel.
