The file look right but you select the Unicode version of the font, as 
you probably use the program in English it is better to select the 
8859-1 version.

You just need to ensure you actually use the .gtkrc file, for that the 
environment variable GTK_RC_FILES need to be set to point to this file.
But a lot of distribution do not set this variable by default, it may 
also depend if you use Ubuntu, Kubuntu or Xubuntu.
Personally I use Kubuntu and the result depend on how I set KDE, there 
is an option in KDE to apply theme and color to GTK application.

So to be sure the problem is with the font size it is best to run the 
following command from a command line to be sure of what is set.
Open a terminal window:
$ export GTK_RC_FILES=~/.gtkrc
$ skychart

(if you have problem with the ~ character type 
GTK_RC_FILES=/home/yourusername/.gtkrc instead)

Corrected, thanks!
