There actually is a Gnome format and a fontconfig format for font names.  When 
you say :pixelsize=14, Emacs assumes fontconfig.  Maybe Deja Vu is ok in the 
Gnome format.

/etc/fonts/fonts.conf and also files in /etc/fonts/conf.d.  On my system,
/etc/fonts/conf.d/60-latin.conf maps monospace to DejaVu Sans Mono.
