I thought you had built with xft. If so, I don't think the options menu does everything correctly. The current scheme is to drop something into your init file to set up the fonts you want. I'm attaching what I use, which I stole from Aidan a while a go. If you're using mule, it's nice to have these font settings too. The default I'm using works well on my mac. You may want to play around with a different default. If you have xft, then try "fc-match Monospace" or "fc-match Courier" to see what's available.
