GTK 1.2 and GTK 2 Fonts

I used to be dead set against this whole AA fonts issue, but now that I've
discovered Verdana, I think it looks pretty cool, definitely better than the
jagged and enemic fonts I had before when I was running MDK 9.1 (had them
disabled).

Only problem is, although all GTK2 apps use the AA Verdana, all GTK 1.2 apps
(well, all 2 of them: GCombust and J-Pilot) still use ol' Helvetica.

Is there any way anyone's aware of to make them all consistent, or are GTK 1.2
apps simply not able to use AA fonts?

I am running XFCE4 with Pekwm as my WM, and XFCE4 allows me to set the
application fonts. I have tried editing my .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 config file thusly:

style "user-font"
{
  font="Verdana 10"
}

but to no avail.

Thanks!
