That's rather gross.
It's certainly possible to instruct xterm to change the font,
with
ESC ] 5 0 ; fontname BEL
So it might be nice to change the font and change it back. Of course,
there doesn't seem to be a way to restore the old font, so this is a major
lose.
I would expect there would be some NLS way of specifying this. i.e.
whether you're using an ISO-Latin1 -compliant font, or not, etc...
