Let's try substitution at the X11 layer.

This syntax in your ~/.fonts.conf will change the response for one
font into an answer from another:

<alias>
 <family>Lucida Grande</family>
 <prefer>
  <family>DejaVu Sans</family>
 </prefer>
</alias>

Add as many stanzas as you like; then run fc-cache and restart
your application.
