You can use gtkrc files for gtk2, I think Geany even comes with it's own 
for some custom themed stuff. 
http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/gtk/gtk-Resource-Files.html. I don't know 
much about it but it seems totally reasonable that you could match the 
Scribble textview either by gtkbuilder/glade name or class/hierarchy and 
change its font.

If it's not possible, probably the best approach would be to extend 
what's documented here: 
http://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#defining-own-widget-styles-using-gtkrc-2-0 
for the relevant Scribble widget, so you can match it by GtkWidget name 
in the gtkrc file (see main.c:L282).
