iso-8859-1 isn't the "ancient" version, it's still the supported
encoding for most of the locales based on latin. The only thing missing
from it is the ¤ sign (that's Euro).

gnome-terminal doesn't use Xft. You can test the fonts by launching
"gnome-terminal --disable-factory" and see what the error is (most
likely the font doesn't support an encoding needed by your locale).

File a bug upstream on gnome-terminal and/or libzvt, or add the
necessary characters to the font, and change the encoding.

Cheers
