This would be a handy way to set the same font for the entire table too, unless I'm missing another way of accomplishing this.

You could try using the xterm-256color version (or changing Terminal.app's `Preferences > Profiles > Advanced > Declare terminal as` to `xterm-256color`). This solved a problem with Mutt for me.
