Hi Rick, 

In Win32FortIDE: 
Choose: Options| IDE Preferences | Button: Text Font:

In the Win32Forth console enter:
 font NewFont
 s" Courier" SetFaceName: NewFont
 20 height: NewFont
 NewFont SetFont: cmd
Could modified and added to your Win32forUser.cfg
so it would be default

About help: 
Does it work when you start
~\win32forth\setup.exe
and run the options: T U R
