bug#3228: 23.0.93; GTK font selection: asked for Courier, got Nimbus

[Sven Joachim <svenjoac@gmx.de>]

I have set up the following X resources for Emacs:

Emacs.FontBackend: xft, x
Emacs.font:-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--*-120-*-*-m-*-iso10646-1

This works okay, as can be seen with `C-u C-x =' :

,----
|         character: S (83, #o123, #x53)
| preferred charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
|        code point: 0x53
|            syntax: w 	which means: word
|          category: .:Base, a:ASCII, l:Latin, r:Roman
|       buffer code: #x53
|         file code: #x53 (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
|           display: by this font (glyph code)
|     xft:-Adobe-Courier-normal-normal-normal-*-17-*-*-*-m-100-iso10646-1 (#x35)
`----

But choosing "Courier 12" from the GTK font selection dialog gives me
another font, and an extremely ugly one:

,----
|         character: S (83, #o123, #x53)
| preferred charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
|        code point: 0x53
|            syntax: w 	which means: word
|          category: .:Base, a:ASCII, l:Latin, r:Roman
|       buffer code: #x53
|         file code: #x53 (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
|           display: by this font (glyph code)
|     x:-urw-nimbus mono l-regular-r-normal--17-123-100-100-p-100-iso8859-1 (#x53)
