GnuCash's default font is gnome's application font. That font info is  
stored in:
~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/interface/%gconf.xml

It is generally set by the Appearance applet in gnome-control-center.

Maybe someday I'll take a look to see how gnumeric finally implemented  
font choices in itself rather than depending on gnome. Especially with  
the problems gnome-settings-daemon has on the mac these days, it's  
really a pain to have to use control center to change the application  
font.
