Please type C-u C-x = on normal ascii characters and those
problematic characters and check which fonts are used.

By the way, are you sure that your monospace-13 font has
glyphs for all of them.  In my environtment, monospace font
is actually mapped to "bitstream vera sans mono" and that
font doesn't have glyphs for those characters.  In such a
situation, it's difficult to expect to see them with the
same metrics as others.
