I think you really, really should get rid that ! Courier is a Postscript font that you will be hard pressed to find on modern systems. On Windows we might still have the "special case" code that remaps it to Courier New. Linux probably doesn't have it because it is a proprietary name which is why JDK used it only in 1.0 and stopped in 1.1 some 25 (!) years ago. And using a logical font you will get much better code point support
