Don't know for sure, but maybe
Code:
emerge corefonts

will do the trick. But why on earth are you unable to view your mail or web pages due to some not installed font? Is there an error message or something?

And this happens when you select 'MS Sans Serif' as your font only? Anyway, sounds more like a GTK+ bug to me...
