How to change fonts in Gvim's menus

How can I change the fonts in Gvim's menues? I tried to add this in the .Xdefaults file

    Vim*useSchemes:            all
    Vim*sgiMode:            true
    Vim*useEnhancedFSB:        true
    Vim.foreground:            Black
    Vim.background:            Wheat
    Vim*fontList:            7x13
    Vim.menuFontSet: -*-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

with no luck.

Orjanp...

[xerxes2@UFU ~]€ cat .gtkrc-2.0
#$(gtkconfigdir)/gtkrc.iso-8859-2
#
# This file defines the fontsets for iso-8859-2 encoding
# make symliks or hardlinks to gtkrc.$LANG if your language uses iso-8859-2
# and a gtkrc.$LANG doesn't exist yet.

gtk-font-name = "bitstream bold 12"

Thanks.

For some reason it just started working. I'm not sure if I restarted X or a reboot did the trick. But it looks better now.
