At risk of showing my ignorance, I use a simpler syntax from the emacs wiki (http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SetFonts#toc2) to set my font. In .emacs:

(set-frame-font "DejaVu Sans Mono-12")

I don't have bitstream courier installed, so I couldn't test this for your font, but I would assume the equivalent line for you would be something like

(set-frame-font "Bitstream Courier-10")

Perhaps I missed some detail of your situation that requires another way of setting the font - I'm an emacs amateur, so don't mind me if this is a useless suggestion.
