I asked almost that same question a few weeks ago and was also directed
to pcswin.ini. I have not found a description of that file so all that I
say about it is a guess.
The problem (for me) was causes by multiple code pages specifications.
I finally stopped losing my font def when I changed the code page spec
in all my .ws files to the same value.
The file is not read-only; PComm writes it when it thinks it needs to.
The file keeps info for 6 copies of PComm windows and the values are
updated when a PComm window closes (I think).
The problem in my situation was that the file contains font and code page
info, and code page info is also kept in the .ws file. Something bad
happens when the code page spec is changed. PCommm seems to save the
wrong font specification if it has to change the codepage spec.
Some of my .ws files specified code page 037; others specified 1047. If
PComm window A had been closed using code page 037 but is opened for
code page 1047 the old font specification is lost. (Or maybe the loss
happens when the 1047 window is closed.) Sometimes the font is lost for
both primary and alternate screen sizes; other times for just alternate.
(I never did get that one figured out.)
Here's my current pcswin.ini

The "10 12" is my font size. "1047" is the code page.
