I've no idea - i use a really quick gross hack like this to get a fixed
width font in a "term" buffer  (or dired or C...)

(if (eq (device-type) 'x)
    (add-hook 'term-mode-hook 
              (lambda ()
                (mapcar 
                 (lambda (face)
                   (set-face-font face
                                  "-*-lucida sans typewriter-medium-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
                                  (current-buffer)))
                 '(default bold term-underline-face
                 font-lock-function-name-face font-lock-type-face
                 font-lock-variable-name-face font-lock-keyword-face))
                (make-face-bold 'bold)
                 )))

I'm also keen to hear better/more general ideas :)
