You can't use the gtkhtml capplet in gnomecontrolcenter2. However, you shouldn't need to. Can you go to Tools->Settings->Font PReferences within Evo? It works for me. If not, install sysutils/gnomecontrolcenter. It doesn't really conflict with GNOME 2, and you should be able to use your old capplets.
