Although most websites use a font in their web page styles. But in case if you are working on an offline projects where wed design isn’t not the initial concern, the default Times Roman font is quite non-likeable. But here is how you can change the default font for Chrome, Firefox or IE browser.

How to Change Default Fonts in Browsers for Better Looks, Readability

Change Default Font in Chrome Browser

I agree there should be a setting in Chrome, however, until the setting becomes available, editing the ‘Preferences’ file may provide some relief… I tried this myself, and it works.
Using text editor to open "Documents and Settings\User_Name\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences". Look for the section of code that looks like the following example (if its not in the file, try adding it yourself)

"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
      }
   }
