If the font is already installed (likely), I assume
that you can access it using mouse-set-font.  So I
further assume that you are asking how to change the
default.  I use Lucida Console myself, and here is the
call I use in my initialization to set my default
frame parameters:

(setq default-frame-alist
  '( (top   . 3 ) (height . 44 )
     (left  . 40) (width  . 105)
     (cursor-type      .  bar)
     (cursor-color     . "Red")
     (foreground-color . "black")
     (background-color . "gray88")
     (font             . "-*-Lucida 
Console-normal-r-*-*-18-108-*-*-c-*-*-ansi-")))

To see what the pop-up font-setting dialogue is
returning, try calling (w32-select-font) directly.
You can copy the resulting string from emacs'
*Messages* buffer.  (It is what matters for
default-frame-alist and it is not the same as the
string which appears in emacs' font list.)

PS - There recently appeared among my choices for 
fixed width fonts some new ones for a variety of
foreign languages and whose names start with "WST-".
I have no idea what caused them to be installed.  Does
anyone have a guess?
