Change the font of Eterm so can use ñ and á chars

Question

I've been in a lot of sites on the web trying to find a way to make Eterm use fonts that accept spanish chars like ñ or á and have found nothing. Can anyone point me in the right direction?. I have use the xlsfonts command so it showed me the fonts that can be on Eterm and they work perfect, the thing is, dejavu (for example) should accept those characters and when I go Eterm -F "dejavu . . ." etc it opens a Eterm window with the font loaded but still shows funny symbols instead of ñ or the á (é, í, ó or ú). My locals are good, I have them generated with es_MX and they work in everything else but in Eterm. Should I do something else or anyone knows something that can help me

yes, I just did it again in case I missed something but no, still the same problem . Here is what might be an issue:
