xt5250 from current CVS source has this feature already built in. I have
sometimes a little problem with xterm not refreshing properly after font
changes, but in general it works really nice. You have to specify the
two fonts in .tn5250rc:

esda01 {
  map=273
  font_80=-frichter-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-180-72-72-c-90-iso8859-1
  font_132=-etl-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-160-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1
  env.TERM=IBM-3477-FC
  hostname = esda01
}
