A better solution would be to choose, among the available X11 unicode
fonts (do "xlsfonts |�gre piso10646-1" to see them) one that pleases you;
copy /etc/gtk/gtkrc.utf-8 to ~/.gtkrc, and edit it to change the
fontset value so that the choosen font is put at the beginning.
For example if you like Tahoma at size 14, install it,
then have your ~/.gtkrc have:
style "gtk-default" {
fontset = "-*-tahoma-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-p-*-iso10646-1,\
-*-r-*-iso10646-1,*"
}
class "GtkWidget" style "gtk-default"
The problem is that X11 font protocol assumes a font is always "complete",
it won't search for missing glyphs on other fonts (contrary to Xft that
does that); so, we are limited to some fonts with enough unicode coverage,
we can't set default utf-8 font to a font nice looking but with only
English coverage, if someone chooses utf-8 (either explicitely or
automatically) he may well want to use cyrillic, or greek, or other.

I had recently installed Mandrake9.1 final and I get some very "ugly" fonts on the
menus/folders, only the email contents which appear with the "settings" defined fonts
are showing properly. This was not happening with Mandrake9.1rc1 which I was using
prior to Mdk9.1.
Also I didn't find this problem on any other application so far.
