To be honest the answer I gave was from what the evolution site says in relation to this. I've only used the gnome-control-center myself to set the font size, as the second language I use is Korean (more accurately my wife uses it.) and and that is an entirely different problem (For Korean it's better handled by Sylpheed anyway. Evo is Euro Centric, Sylpheed is Asia Centric.) Gnome Control Center and it's interface did allow me to resize the fonts so that they could actually be read on a 1280x1024 screen. It is supposed to handle all font changes in Gnome applications such as Evolution. As for How much of Gnome has to be installed, in my case I only installed whatever the installer said was a dependency during install. I don't even know if gnome works on this box! (I use WindowMaker most of the time.)
