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... 

 

[plindner@arcwelder ~]$ more ~/.gtkrc.mine
style "user-font"
{
fontset="-*-verdana-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,*-r-*"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"
