Comment(by kstange):
The reason that preference was added was to avoid the problem of having an
unusable document font, largely GTK+'s fault on Windows, when users sent
incoming formatting with font sizes of 2 or smaller. This is typical of
AIM users because the default is to use a 12 point base font size for size
3 on the official AIM client, so users set their font to size 2, which is
10 points. Pidgin's base font size is 10 points, so it results in 8 point
or smaller fonts for the Pidgin recipient of the messages.
If it can be made obvious how to change the document font setting via the
GTK+ theme control plugin, then this preference could be removed, but that
type of plugin functionality seems to be something people fail to find and
have to ask about.
