What is the "raster fonts" option in windows cmd appearance settings?

I'm trying to make other applications (like putty and SecureCRT) use the same font as windows CMD.

What exactly is this "Raster Fonts" Font and how do I get it?

Raster fonts are the same as Bitmap fonts, and you can see the Wikipedia definition here.

As for what the font is, you can check the Selected Font in the dialog/screenshot above. Your selected font is terminal.
