Having a consistently-looking GNOME desktop means that you should address also the non-GNOME applications. Since ages, local font settings for Unix-class applications are in ~/.fonts.config, but alas, GNOME has no intention to modify this file.
Self-centered desktop environments should think twice about their raison d'être.
Now, how many years will take to GNOME3 to add a mechanism to duplicate the gconf settings in .gtkrc and .fonts.config?
INHO it is indeed a GNOME bug.
