well, i've been looking at this for awhile now and i cannot find any way to
change font sizes for menus and such for a gnome application while i'm
running it under tde. there are gnome system defaults someplace, but i'd
just as soon not install all of gnome just to be able to change the size
of the letters in an application. is there an equivalent to kcontrol for
the gtk side of things?

There are a number of Gnome tools that can affect this, depending on which
version of Gnome the application is written for:
GTK3+:
gnome-tweak-tool
gnome-control-center
gnome-shell-extension-prefs
GTK2(?)
gconf-editor
I think what you need is either gconf-editor or gnome-tweak-tool, which are
likely not installed.

Not needed. Just a ~/.gtkrc-2.0 with:
style "user-font"
{
font_name="Tahoma 8"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"
That will set the default font for all widgets (menu, toolbar, etc..) to
"Tahoma 8". You can fine-tune what each font is applied to.

I tried pretty much everything that was suggested. No joy. (Adding to the
fun is no easy way I know of to tell whether a particular application is
GTK2 or GTK3, making it possible to break some things while not fixing
others.)
Anyway, after the various gnome and gtk tweakers failed to give me what I
desired, I happened upon, in Tmenu > Settings > Settings > KDE System
Settings, which is apparently a KDE-heaven-knows-what-version
configurator, something called "GNOME Application Style (GTK)" and there
I was able to change the typeface and size and all became wonderful.
(Could change themes, too, if I wanted.) I'd love to give a better
description of the configurator, but it has no "About" or "Help" or
anything. Anyway, it works. (In top is shows up as systemsettings5, so I
suppose it is a KDE5 configurator. I have no idea why I have it.)
