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.
