That's a matter of opinion I think. IMHO gnome-appearance-properties
should change ~/fonts.conf (or equivalent) and fontconfig should take
settings from there and then apply those settings for whole system.
Excuse me if I'm wrong - I'm not and expert in this. I just don't like
applications choose and render fonts by their own.

And yes - there are bugreports about that in almost every non-Gnome
application. I just can't believe that all of those apps are broken and
I think it would be better to solve it on higher level, not for every
application separately.

If I install KDE, I can use gtk-qt-engine (or something like that) -
tool that integrates itself into Control Center and let me change font
and theme settings for GTK apps. Then my system looks very nice and
consistent. Why isn't something like that in Ubuntu?
