Assuming a desktop environment shouldn't override those settings, then
editing .gtkrc-2.0 does the job, resp. .config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini for
the GTK3 port.

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ grep font .gtkrc-2.0
gtk-font-name="Cantarell 11"
[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ grep font .config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
gtk-font-name=Cantarell 11

In the above example 'Cantarell' is the font's name and '11' is the
size. Those files can be edited with the editor of your choice. A tool
such as LXAppearance could be used, too. When running 'lxappearance'
the font type and size are not provided by the 'Font' tab, they are at
the bottom of the 'Widget' tab.
