Could you try it? I bet those terminals have font-substitution mechanisms provided by fontconfig. (u)xterm do not have it. You can even use virtual font called "Monospace" in (u)xterm, but it uses only the first real font that belongs to that virtual font. In most cases it is Bitstream Vera Sans Mono or DejaVu Sans Mono.
