I'm a KDE user, but I run a few GTK2 apps (Firefox, GIMP) and they all seem to have massive fonts. I had the same problem in Gentoo, except when I ran GNOME the fonts looked OK.
I've read about something called 'gnome-settings-daemon' on the Debian mailing list, apparently if I configure the fonts from the GNOME control center and start this in xinitrc I should be OK. Then maybe I could also get a decent GTK theme too, while I'm at it ;-)
Can I install it without installing the whole of GNOME?

[damir@Asteraceae /]$ pacman -Qo /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-settings-daemon
/opt/gnome/bin/gnome-settings-daemon is owned by control-center 2.4.0-3
you can try to install only the "control-center"

/opt/gnome/libexec/gconfd-2
and make sure you installed gconf

I found a program call gtk-theme-switch2, which worked for GIMP, but not Firefox (does it use gtk2 or am I mistaken?). I'll try these suggestions when I get home.

You don't need any gnome-settings hoo-ha to change your GTK fonts.
You just need a good local.conf, which goes in /etc/fonts/ Here's the one from my Mac (should work on Linux, too):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- /etc/fonts.conf file to configure system font access -->
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
<edit name="antialias" mode="assign"><bool>true</bool></edit>
<edit name="hinting" mode="assign"><bool>false</bool></edit>
</match>
<match target="pattern">
<edit name="dpi" mode="assign"><double>96</double></edit>
</match>

tehdely,
it of course works also on linux, as you told ... and it is a very clean fonts/local.conf --- my compliments, it has all that is needed (in my eyes )
