It's been a while, but I remember using gtkchtheme in the past for

The best part - no daemons and you can install different themes if
that's your thing.
Right, that works if you just want to use theme fonts. The problem
comes when you use gnome font dialogs or the like. They seem to
require daemons. I suppose that one could write a GTK theme file, but
it's probably more trouble than it's worth. Gnome also seems to
require daemons for the likes of mouse cursors (which only appear for
GTK+ apps...). Hm. It's a mess.
Firefox, which is the only GTK-ish app that I use, doesn't care much,
though, as long as you don't use the `native' theme. It draws its own
menus, and uses whatever fonts its theme specifies. (Incidentally, you
should all try out Vimperator.)
Firefox is strange in the fact that you can change the gtk theme (I use
gtk-theme-switch2) but if you don't have a gnome/xfce daemon running it
picks... whatever font it picks. I found a way to change the fonts by
editing the userChrome.css file where you can set almost any setting to
the firefox gui. This is located in (varies from distro to distro, I'm
sure you know where your firefox directory is) ~/(your firefox
dir)/********.default/chrome/userChrome.css . You will probably need to
create the userChrome.css file. Here's an example of what you should
put in that userChrome.css file if you'd like to set the gui's fonts:
menubar, menubutton, menulist, menu, menuitem, textbox, toolbar, tab,
tree, tooltip
{
font-family: verdana, helvetica !important;
font-size: 10px !important;
}
Restart firefox, that's all it needs.
