Could be. Works fine with my HP LaserJet 4L.

I may be wrong about this, but if you sent your Notepad font to Terminal, I believe it should still print the special characters outside of the 32-128 range. I use Terminal in Notepad and it supports all the special characters, so perhaps it would work this way as well...
