Ah! But, then why does fontconfig put higher priority to
bistream fonts? In my environment (debian etch),
/etc/fonts/conf.avail/60-latin.conf has these lines:
<family>monospace</family>
<prefer>
<family>Bitstream Vera Sans Mono</family>
<family>DejaVu Sans Mono</family>

I've just tried rxvt-unicode to display HELLO and
UTF-8-demo.txt. In my environment, it seems that the latest
Emacs does better job. But, at least, rxvt-unicode aligns
characters better. It's perhaps because rxvt-unicode pad
some space for that.
