Inkscape wants to use Bitstream Vera Sans as the default font, but I don't have that installed on my system so every character becomes ugly rectangles. I cannot figure out how to change the font to something else.
You can probably fix this by editing gtkrc. There should be a global $GTK_INSTALL_DIR/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc, and also a user's ~/.gtkrc-2.0.
I found some info on the web for a project with similar issues here:
http://xanana.ucsc.edu/~wgscott/xtal/wiki/index.php/Installing_Coot_on_OS_X
They have an entry:
gtk-font-name = "LucidaGrande 15"
Hope this helps.
