Terminal readout when I launch:
"Warning: Cannot convert string
"-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct"
I'd really like to fix this. I'm using Emacs 23 to preserve the old, larger,
rounder font.

In the meantime, what's the closest font to the one Emacs 24 is failing to
display?

Fixed the problem. I updated to Emacs 24.2.50.1.
However, my compile of Emacs 24.1.1 did not involve updating and compiling
from the repository. I probably missed something. So it may not necessarily
be a 24.1.1 issue.
I did precisely this for those who want a guaranteed font fix:
sudo apt-get install git build-essential
sudo sudo apt-get build-dep emacs
git clone git://github.com/emacsmirror/emacs
cd emacs
./autogen.sh &> log.autogen
./configure &> log.configure
make bootstrap &> log.bootstrap
sudo make install &> log.install
