  • Basically, the Chrome browser is based on WebKit. There are some webkit internal font setting options for font family, font size, etc.
    
    Using text editor to open "Documents and Settings\User_Name\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences"
    You will find the "webkit": {  "webprefs": { in the file. Those settings are for WebKit.
    In my setting example:
       "webkit": {
          "webprefs": {
             "default_fixed_font_size": 11,
             "default_font_size": 12,
             "fixed_font_family": "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono",
             "minimum_font_size": 12,
             "minimum_logical_font_siz": 12,
             "sansserif_font_family": "Times New Roman",
             "serif_font_family": "Arial",
             "standard_font_is_serif": false,
             "text_areas_are_resizable": true
          }
       }
    
    The minimum_font_size and minimum_logical_font_size prevent Chrome to use very small font size for display.
    
    Remember to close Chrome first before you edit the file, or the file you saved will be overwritten by Chome after exiting.
