I just looked at the IBM3270 fonts that come with Access by whatever
name. There are several flavors, including national language. And they
have a dot in the middle of zeroes to distinguish from capital O.
The one with the plain name is hard to distinguish 8 and 0 - the letters
are fairly narrow. But the 1258 variety - not sure what the number mean
or if they matter here - that is wider - looks very nice on screen, to
my eye today.
So to use that font for editing, one can go to preferences, or use the
command line -
set default.font "IBM3270 - 1258-bold-12"
you can leave out the bold, and use whatever size you like.
For printing, use this -
set default.print.font "IBM3270 - 1258-9"
perhaps.
You do have to have Access installed but not necessarily open.

Personally, I find the (free) Liberation Mono font to be very acceptable for
RDP and PC5250 sessions. The Proggy Fonts are popular.
