I know about gtk, but not about fontconfig, and I expect users will ask for it, as they might not like tiny fonts, which are hard to read, same as I do not like them for monospace fonts.

I don't know of a tool to modify fontconfig font settings, but if you look around you should be able to find some examples of how to modify the configuration of all fonts.

The size of the font isn't determined by the fontconfig or XSettings configuration. It's up to the client (Epiphany, for instance) to determine the the default font size. One thing to ensure is that, if you are using Epiphany, you should uncheck "Use system font settings" and choose a more appropriate default size.
