Not that it solves any Emacs devel related problems but maybe the this
specific usage problem...

For the "common" characters they are the same.  The DejaVu fonts are
just the Bitstream fonts plus additional glyphs.

Or use only the DejaVu fonts.

BTW Kenichi:  Do you know urxvt aka rxvt-unicode?  It's a terminal
emulator for X that claims to have good unicode support.  IMHO (not that
I'm in any way qualified ;) it's doing a very good job in picking the
right fonts.  It supports xft as well as old school X fonts.
