Thanks a million Jeff, gtk-theme-switch is the answer to all my problems - I can now control the appearance of all my Gtk apps (including the amazing Sweep !)..
thanks

This still leaves me with other apps like Sweep, which display tiny fonts
under any screen manager. Are such apps controllable ?


Sweep is still a GTK+ 1.x app, which means you have to deal with horrible
problems from the bad old days of X core fonts. ;-) If you have a program
called gtkswitch handy, you can quickly set your GTK+ 1.x fonts. Otherwise,
you can edit the GTK+ 1.x gtkrc file manually, for example:

  ~/.gtkrc
  style "user-font"
  {
    font="-microsoft-trebuchet ms-medium-r-normal-*-*-90-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1"
  }
  widget_class "*" style "user-font"
