I think I'm having a similar issue.

I'm using the Windows 2.5.8 version, and while chatting with AIM people they
complain that my font is large and bold.

I've tried the FAQs, found .purple, edited .gtkrc-2.0 file, global,
per-user, pidgin-specific... but nothing seems to have any effect.

Is AIM one of "those protocols which support [outgoing message] formatting" ?
