I can't get a font to load in Emacs, yet Emacs sees the font and the
font works fine with xterm.

Background: I'm running Xming on Vista and have installed the Dina PCF
fonts.  I can login to my Linux server and start xfontsel, selecting a
Dina font.  I can start an xterm and use the Dina font that I selected.

When I start Emacs (v22.1/CentOS), I see the Dina fonts listed with
(x-list-fonts "*dina*"), but when I try to use one with

  (set-face-font 'default
      "-windows-dina-medium-r-normal-*-16-100-96-96-c-80-microsoft-cp1252")

or

  (set-default-font
    "-windows-dina-medium-r-normal-*-16-100-96-96-c-80-microsoft-cp1252"
    nil)

Emacs loads

  -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-m-100-iso8859-1

instead.

What am I doing wrong?  And why do xterm, xfontsel, and xfd all display
the Dina font just fine?
