monospace X font with good Unicode coverage

Is there a (readable) monospaced X font in the base distrubution
that has decent Unicode coverage? I sure can't find one. I need
something that will let xterm deal with utf8.

Note that I need something that will work with my increasingly
impaired eyesight. E.g. large x-height and lightly serif-ed really
helps. I am currently using

-*-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-*-sans-*-110-*-*-m-*-*-*

which is very readable, but has no Unicode coverage.

If there's nothing in base, suggestions for something in ports would
be welcome.

Thanks!
