Well, even Windows supports Helvetica, Times and Courier.
Actually, it does not use Hevletica and Times for the
display. That was absolutely not the issue. Besides, you
can set up the fonts used in scid via the menue, so there's
no need to read tons of docs just for DOS-support ;)

Helvetica is mapped to Arial and Times is mapped to Times
New Roman. AFAIK M$ just did not want to buy a license for
the proper font. Though Winodws is braindead dumb even it
can handle this...
Besides: if not done by Windows, the tcl/tk interpreter has
to handle this (and does it), hence, there has to be no need
to care about DOS internals. Together with the ability to
set fonts within Scid it's useless to even care about it at
all.
My problem was just that I wondered that in the initial
version the font used by Pascal displayed so badly here,
which was the reason why I suggested to use a font defined
within scid already for the display.
