I think iceweasel respects the settings in ~/.gtkrc-2.0, so you could
try something like this:

style "user-font" { font_name="Bitstream Vera Sans 11" }
widget_class "*" style "user-font"

It should be possible to use any font name listed by

fc-list | cut -d\: -f1

plus a number for the size in points.

Writing your own userChrome.css is another option (which only affects
iceweasel):
