Or, failing that, is there a way to cajule gnome-terminal to use the same

gnome-terminal to use the same font as dtterm will fix this, which will
take me one step closer to being a GNOME user (but there are many steps
to go!).
Even if you got them to use the exact same font, the software they use for
drawing text is so different it will still not look the same. If it's a
bitmap font it will be closer, but TrueType fonts won't even have the same
appearance, much less spacing, since GNOME/GTK+ apps will be using the open
source FreeType font engine to render the font, while CDE uses the commercial
Bitstream font engine built into the X server to do the same.
