After much digging I was able to change fonts for gtk1 apps like evolution, galeon, and ethereal by editing the file .gtkrc.mine (example below). I also installed the microsoft truetype fonts from my win2000 box in /usr/share/fonts/microsoft/ and added that path to /etc/X11/fs/config. Additionally I added -dpi 96 to /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf.
This may not be the right way to do this, but it seems to work for me. Everything is looking good now...
