The pd window text console is .pdwindow.text. You can send the -font command to it in TCL: https://tcl.tk/man/tcl8.6/TkCmd/options.htm#M-font https://tcl.tk/man/tcl8.6/TkCmd/options.htm#M-font
As for "internal Pd message" I don't believe there is one in this case as the core doesn't send setup info on this directly to the GUI like it does for the patch window canvases. This is why you didn't get a response yet with the exact answer to your request: I don't believe there is one. What you can do is use one of the GUI plugins and/or external objects which allows you to send TCL to the GUI directly.

Thanks, Dan!
I'll try to find something in the source code.
Although I can't really read or write these source codes since I have absolutely no programming background except for Pd itself.
.pdwindow.text doesn't seem to be a top level window so I get error messages when trying to do anything with it.
I tried other options that were mentioned in the source code without success.
I have been going through pretty much all error messages (that makes sense to me) from [hcs/sys_gui] when entering wrong commands on purpose.
None of those mentions "font" as an option.
On the Tcl/Tk font manual I can find some information but I have no idea how to put things in a format to use it with [hcs/sys_gui] from within Pd.

Thanks anyway!
