Well, no.  You will experience the same "issue" if you use *any* proportional spaced font.  When your so-called terminal renders non-ASCII characters it renders them using a proportional font.

If you render *all* characters using a proportional font you will experience the same result.  The "root cause" is that the boxing modes are designed for fixed width fonts and not for proportional fonts.  If you wish to use proportional fonts then you need to use something designed to use proportional fonts.

This is why hooey-gui clickety-pokey's were invented.
