You don't have access to Microsoft Notepad, this is a proprietary isolated closed-source no-good application. Write you own editor; then the font won't be a problem.
Also, who needs Notepad? This a rudimentary language with feature below minimalistic requirements. Even the simplest home-made editor based on one of the TextBox controls (WPF or Forms) will do much better if implemented accurately.

For that you have to use Window Hooking. To use winddow hook in C# you have to use Win32 Api's with the help of PInvoke.

You can change the default font in notepad with the following registry keys (this will set to "Courier New" and size of 9):

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Notepad]
"lfEscapement"=dword:00000000
"lfOrientation"=dword:00000000
"lfWeight"=dword:00000190
"lfItalic"=dword:00000000
"lfUnderline"=dword:00000000
"lfStrikeOut"=dword:00000000
"lfCharSet"=dword:000000b2
"lfOutPrecision"=dword:00000003
"lfClipPrecision"=dword:00000002
"lfQuality"=dword:00000001
"lfPitchAndFamily"=dword:00000031
"lfFaceName"="Courier New"
"iPointSize"=dword:0000005a
