Its a problem with GTK.

Type "locale" in console to get your language. Here I have "pt_BR.UTF-8".
them create a link in /etc/gtk to a good font theme:

$ cd /etc/gtk/
$ sudo ln -s gtkrc.iso-8859-15 gtkrc.pt_BR

This exemple work here, in my system.
You need to know you language first (us, pt, ru, pt_BR, ko, etc.).
