These two fonts are the same. Their foundry is "[Mm]isc" (not determined, could
be X Consortium/X.Org), their family name is the same: "[Ff]ixed". Their weight
is also the same, normal is medium. What makes a difference is the value of
"ja" (for Japanese) in the field for additional typographic styles. This makes
sense in combination with the ISO 10646-1 (or Unicode) font encoding. It is
possible that this setting, "ja", reserves a bit too big cells for the
characters, cells into which Japanese could fit (which a bit bigger than those
for Latin scripts). The setting for average width (120 vs. 80, i.e. wide vs.
compact) confirms this. GNU Emacs 24.x seems to love Japanese…
