I have no clue what font it even uses, since it doesn't say. The DOS box font
settings include size characteristics...but no font name. It resembles system
or some other dinky fixed-width one though.
(.ini? I thought W95 did everything with those funky registry keys... I ran a
registry monitor, though, and when I opened a dos box and diddled the font
nothing happened to the registry, not even when I exited, forcing it to save
the changes, wherever it does that. I suspect it uses a .pif... which is, woe
of woes, a crufty proprietary binary format with no known real
bit-twiddle-level editors.)
