     For some reason the fonts on the syntax screen and the output screen are
     very small on the windows port. This could be because it can't find the
     correct fonts.


The only special thing about the fonts used in these windows is that
they are monospaced. PSPP does this by calling 

 pango_font_description_from_string ("monospace");

Pango has some special functions for manipulating fonts under w32.
You might find useful information at

     Which fonts are used in Linux?

Please note that PSPP is a GNU project.  In GNU we refer to the
operating system as "GNU/Linux".  Only when we specifically mean to
refer to the kernel do we speak about "Linux".
