You need to use a PC font for your xterm; I've made a couple in the past for things like an SCO console and Wyse60 emulating Xterm, but I haven't played with that stuff in a long time. I'm sure there's got to be one out there somewhere... I've looked through all the default fonts and all the international add-ons, and I couldn't find one. Try on ftp.x.org in contrib.
