DOSAPP.FON contains several sizes of small fonts.  The face name is 
"Terminal" and there are sizes down to 4x6 (which is just barely legible).
I find 6x8 is very effective.

The trick is, although DOSAPP.FON comes with every copy of Win 3.1
it isn't normally installed.  You can install it through the control
panel like any other font, but to make it stick around you will need
to remove the WOAFont= line from system.ini (its a ugly story, don't ask
why).
