Please, if you don't mind.
I have rechecked, and the MS core fonts seem to be installed here -- but
I'm sure you are correct that my dosemu isn't using the Andale Mono.
It isn't more than one value in dosemurc -- I just played around with
some of the XLS fonts that are installed, and I can bring up dosemu
using, say

-bitstream-courier 10 pitch-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso10646-1

with no trouble at all.
I just ran sudo fc-cache -f -v. And right now I am looking at
Andale_Mono.ttf in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts -- is that
the same font? I can use it in LibreOffice. Yet running

xlsfonts -fn "-*-*-*-*-*--0-0-*-*-m-0-*"|sort|uniq >scalable_fonts
as you suggested some years ago, produces nada. On the other hand,
issuing xlsfonts with no parameters gives a bunch of
interesting-looking, but not scalable fonts.
I'll poke around in my spare time -- this is probably pretty arcane
stuff even for Linuxheads. But I am a bit baffled why it's not visible
to dosemu.
