Another solution:

If are running xserver under your own account (or if xserver
is otherwise to capable read your own directories), you can
create own fonts and give font alias names.

Soo create your own font direcrectory
- for example $HOME/lib/fonts
Put to this directory file fonts.alias, where is 
font name what mail tries use as alias to another
existed font - for example:
-Adobe-MENU-MEDIUM-R-Normal----120-----P---ISO8859-1 -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--*-120-*-iso8859-1 

first is font what mail want use and second in line
what use instead. (No - I don't know what font Mail
want use.)

Then execute command xset +fp $HOME/lib/fonts
in somewhere beginning of your X -session.
