I had the same Problem,
its a bug in gtkextra/gtkfontps.c (or perhaps deeper in the pango-library)
Line 467
if (!g_object_class_find_property(klass, "gtk-xft-dpi")) {
dpi = 96.;
} else {
/* Read the settings. */
gint int_dpi;
g_object_get(G_OBJECT(settings),
"gtk-xft-dpi", &int_dpi,
NULL);
dpi = int_dpi / PANGO_SCALE;
}
g_object_get returns 0.
I have put the following line in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 (outside of any style block):
gtk-xft-dpi=100000
which solved the Problem.

GTK+ and Xft will use in order:
- Xft/DPI XSETTING
- Xft.dpi X resource
- DPI from the screen
I do not set DisplaySize in the Xorg configuration file,
and from /var/log/Xorg.0.log I have
(II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1400 x 1050
(--) NVIDIA(0): Display dimensions: (320, 240) mm
(--) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (111, 111)
which is correct for my monitor. Therefore the DPI from
the screen seems to be ok. Nontheless the test programs
from gtk+extra has a text size very very small and
unreadable size.
Also setting the DPI in the X resource file does not
change this situation. I have tried setting it with
Xft.dpi: 100
in my ~/.Xresources file. Other applications, such as
the gnome-panel, see this setting and changes the
font size accordingly, but the gtk+extra test
programs still draw their text in the same very
small and unreadable font size.
Regarding the first option (Xft/DPI XSETTING), I do
not know how to set it, so that it can be tried. Maybe
someone can help me with it.
So if gnome-settings-daemon isn't there to provide the DPI, it will
*still* have a DPI. GTK+ works perfectly fine in non-GNOME environments.
I still does not understand why those test programs
from gtk+extra do use such a very small font size.
What else can I do to get it right?
