The HTML code can override the preferences.
There is, however, a preference for a minimum text size.
Try putting this in your prefs.js while Mozilla is not running:
user_pref("font.min-size.variable.", 14);
user_pref("font.min-size.fixed.", 14);

Well, for the kind of fonts (ie. Serif, Monospace, etc.) you can choose 
which font to use. Also, you can choose the default size for the 
proportional and monospace font.
