Try specifying the font on the command line via the -fn option.

Anyway, this is because linum-mode uses the font height as an
approximation for its width.  So any font that is wider than it is
high will cause this, I think.

Perhaps we should enlarge the width estimation by some factor slightly
larger than 1, to be on the safe side.
