The terminal fonts with the dec-dectech registry and encoding are 
considered unfit for displaying ascii by the MUEL code that
decides these things.  I would have to agree since the lowercase
characters are replaced by weird T-bars and stuff.  If you do
this

(set-charset-registry 'ascii
	(concat (charset-registry 'ascii) "\\|dec-dectech"))

then the dec-dectech fonts will be considered usable for ASCII.
