Changing the Application and Fixed width font settings in the Gnome
preferences does affect the ones used in Epiphany for me. You just have
to restart the browser.

There is something fishy about it, though. Epiphany behaves differently
when using generic font families (namely serif and sans-serif). Since
there is no way to specify a "sans-serif" in Gnome, it obviously does
not work. The font scaling is way off as well except for monospace. The
styles exhibiting the generic families problem is highlighted in my
screenshot.

For this test I have set the Application font as "Times New Roman 12pt"
and the Fixed width font for "Courier New 10pt" in Gnome. Firefox has
the same fonts set, but using pixel sizes (16px and 13px, respectively).
There is nothing wrong with DPI as far as I can tell.
