Well, you CAN change the font for all DOS windows.  I don't think you 
can change it for just some of them, though.  Anyway, you need to change
the following line in your SYSTEM.INI:

CGA40WOA.FON=CGA40WOA.FON
CGA80WOA.FON=CGA80WOA.FON
EGA40WOA.FON=EGA40WOA.FON
EGA80WOA.FON=EGA80WOA.FON

Of course, you'll need smaller fonts to replace the currently named 
fonts - anyone want to create some of these?
