Arial Tur,0 = Arial,162 was default during install. But this causes problems and setting without language extension leads the font to be used reliably. BTW I use US or paneuropean versions not Turkish version and add support for Turkish.
Didn't install additional fonts. Fonts that are not truetype or those that don't support Turkish have only English versions (ie:MS Serif or Sans Serif, System, Terminal, Courier etc). I take care not using any extra font that don't install with Win95.
