I finally managed to get Rusty running under DOSBOX without crashing! The crashing/font glitch issues were caused by the DOSJP, which came with the copy of Rusty I downloaded. DOSJP is needed to run Japanese games in DOS, but it sucks badly. Thankfully, there's a superior alternative: DOS/V. Replacing DOSJP with DOS/V and updating the play.bat file accordingly fixed everything!

You'll have to search the internet for DOS/V yourself, but I will tell you how to use DOS/V instead of DOSJP:
1. If your copy of DOS/V includes FONT.DAT (the JP font file), you'll need to rename that file before you extract it, since there's a different FONT.DAT that Rusty already uses for the smaller gray text and status icons. I renamed mine to JIS.DAT.
2. Extract the contents of the DOS/V archive into the same folder that Rusty is in (Make sure you've renamed FONT.DAT first!).
3. Clear the first line of play.bat (which should simply read DOSJP) with the following:

dosvfont -f:[fontname].dat -tj

where [fontname] is whatever you renamed your FONT.DAT file.

4. Save and close play.bat
5. Enjoy Rusty!
