There is no way to change Excel's comment default font. A workaround is to
use a macro to create a new comment, for example:

Sub NewComment()
On Error Resume Next
With ActiveCell.AddComment.Shape
.TextFrame.Characters.Font.Name = "Terminal"
.TextFrame.Characters.Font.Size = 9
.ScaleWidth 1.5, msoFalse
.ScaleHeight 1.5, msoFalse
.Visible = msoTrue
.Select
End With
End Sub
