ATSpeed, which is out now, emulates EGA and VGA monochrome.
Of course, if the software makes hardware calls directly to
the video adapter, then the emulator will probably not be able
to handle it (then again, this will probably be hard for any
emulator).  The idea of having an actual VGA card along with
an emulator (a la the proposed card for SuperCharger) might be
the way you have to do it.
In any event, I've got ATSpeed now and I really like it.  It
can handle Windows (I don't have 3.0, yet), and it even runs a
piece of software that involves different fonts and keyboard
remappings...the key is being able to load different fonts,
and this is accomplished by a dos program provided with the
emulator itself.
