Pretty much expected behavior.  Overriding the settings for a
"Fingering" grob won't affect a "TextScript" grob.  And grob overrides
are not relevant for general text layout defaults.

Try

\version "2.17.20"

\relative f'' {
  \override Fingering.font-encoding = #'latin1
  \override Fingering.font-size = #-2
  \override Fingering.font-series = #'bold

  <g-4> <f-2> f^\trill^\markup { \fontsize #-2 \bold "4242" }
}
