I've been using TeXworks 0.4.5 r1280 in Windows 7 and TeXworks 0.5 r952 in Ubuntu 12.04. I like the font on Ubuntu much more than on Windows. It is easier to read and to work with. On Ubuntu this font is called "Serif" in the TeXworks settings:
On Windows, it doesn't exist:
Where can I find this font in some format that I will be able to install and use on Windows 7? Could it be font embedded into TeXworks or it is a system-wide font?

. I've copied this file to the Windows machine, opened it with Windows Font Viewer and installed it. After restarting TeXworks it appeared on the list of fonts as DejaVu Serif
. To further improve the appearance of the font, I've adjusted the screen resolution value to match my monitor (setting found in the Preview tab in Preferences dialog):
