I am not an AquaTerm expert, but reading the docs it appears to me
that it is impossible to have multiple fonts in the same AquaTerm
windows. 
If all the text you want can be expressed using the "Symbol" font, you 
can do:

gset term aqua fname "Symbol"
gset label 1 "a" at 0.4, 1.3

etc...

If you have to mix fonts, then I would recommend enhanced postscript terminal;
do not know if it qualifies as "special" software or not.

Happy New Year!

Dmitri.
