Ethan's answer is absolutely correct but in this one instance there are a
couple of simpler ways to do specifically what you asked for.

On Windows on the Conversations page of the pidgin preferences dialog
there is a 'Use font from theme' preference which, when disabled, allows
manuall control of the font used for the conversation window text areas.

On all systems the 'Pidgin GTK+ Theme Control' plugin can be used to tweak
a number of (normally theme controlled) settings. Among those settings are
the fonts used for the conversation window history and entry areas as well
as the font used for the entire pidgin interface.
