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.
