The font rendering of gtk1 and gtk2 don't have much in common (if
anything at all), so it's not surprising that fonts are rendered
differently.

First of all, you should make sure that your X server is configured
with a reasonable screen resolution (dpi). Then, if you still want to
change the font size, add the following line or something similar to
your ~/.gtkrc-2.0:

font_name = "Sans 16"
