No. Since curses libraries were designed with fixed-width fonts in mind,
some breakages are inevitable if they are used with variable-width ones.

mlterm only cares the font specified for 10646_UCS4_1,
not for ISO8859-1  when "only_use_unicode_font=true".

If you have sanely configured the fontconfig library,
ISO10646_UCS4_1=monospace=iso10646-1;
should work.

As far as I've tested, underscores sometimes can be difficult to see
but do not disappear. Would you try to increase "line_spacing"?
