Without getting into too technie, but you have to know that FreeDos is just
a guest O/S within a VM, so it's impossible to control the font as you want
it to be. How the display is fitted to the real physical screen depends on
the virtualization program -- in your case, it's VMware Player.
However, VMware Player doesn't allow stretching guest screen to physical
screen. FYI, in VMware Workstation, there's an option called "Stretch
guest ...." which is absent in VMware Player. This is also confirmed in
VMware's forum:

Note that in the second discussion, someone has pasted a link to a doc
giving a possible solution. You could try.
Good luck
