13.04 just lost support a couple of days ago.  You'd better upgrade to
13.10 soon.

1. Check gnome-terminal's preferences about the font.  If the "Use
   System Font" checkbox is checked, then gnome-tweak-tool already told
   you you were using Ubuntu Mono, but if it's not checked, you might be
   getting some other font.

2. Check what font file is matched to that font: in a terminal run

     $ fc-match "Ubuntu Mono"

   I get

     UbuntuMono-R.ttf: "Ubuntu Mono" "Regular"

   which feels right.

3. Maybe run fc-cache -f -v to force rebuilding of font caches?  Maybe
   run debsums to see if the installed font packages are not corrupt?
