Terminal programs in X use whatever font you tell them to,
by default or explicitly. Best way is to tell them to use
the same font that plex86 uses to draw VGA characters.
The VGA character set is not equivalent to ASCII outside of
the range 0x20..0x7E. Try "man ascii" and "xfd -fn vga"
to see the difference.
On a vt100, the only solution would be to offer a translation
matrix to let you display characters in place of the VGA ones
emitted. It is possible to load fonts into the console. I've
never used it, but I see a man page for consolechars.
