Here's another observation I've made. In the GNOME font selector,
switching between Monospace and DejaVu Sans Mono has no effect on the
appearance of a gnome-terminal. So my hypothesis is that Monospace is
in fact an alias for DejaVu Sans Mono, and Emacs has the correct font
designated but is somehow incorrectly getting a different font or is
rendering it differently.
Any ideas what to try next to debug?
