How about using Courier as italic and bold-italic font and LucidaTypewrite
for the rest?  This combo give best of both world. 

In my .Xdefaults:

Emacs.default.attributeFont:	-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-*-12-120-*-*-m-70-iso8859-1
Emacs*Font:			-b&h-lucidatypewriter-bold-r-normal-*-12-120-*-*-m-70-iso8859-1
Emacs.bold.attributeFont:	-b&h-lucidatypewriter-bold-r-normal-*-12-120-*-*-m-70-iso8859-1
Emacs.italic.attributeFont:	-adobe-courier-medium-o-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
Emacs.bold-italic.attributeFont:-adobe-courier-bold-o-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
