Yes, I can vouch that this is the case.  But how do you specify the
font?  If you have not done so yet, try adding a line like this:

Emacs.font: DejaVu Sans Mono-10

To your .Xresources file, running "xrdb ~/.Xresources" from the
command-line, and restarting Emacs.

AUCTeX works for me as you would like, and I've not set any variables in
my .emacs especially to achieve this.
