No sooner do I post than someone tells me the answer.

<jamesh> telsa: create a ~/.gtkrc-2.0
<jamesh> telsa: with the single line: gtk-font-name = "My Favourite Font 10"
         (for 10pt size)
<jamesh> if gnome-settings-daemon is running, it will override the
         gtk-font-name attribute though
<jamesh> in which case you need to change the value in gconf

So now you (and I!) know :)
