Here's a bit more background. The following is without Kenichi Handa's fix.
I'll try to install the fix tomorrow and see what difference it makes.
I think I selected Lucida Sans Typewriter from a font menu and an earlier
version of Emacs then added the outline prefix. I currently have Calibri set
as my default font, but the Emacs 22.3 customize buffer displays the font as
Font Family: outline-calibri. If I resave this customization using Emacs
22.3, it is saved in my .emacs file as :family "outline-calibri". So I think
that's where the "outline-" prefix came from. Now, when I start Emacs
23.0.93, it has its default font set to Adobe Caslon Pro. If I set the
default font back to Lucida Sans Typewriter in Emacs 22.3, Emacs 23.0.93
still uses Adobe Caslon Pro as the default font.
To be precise, I set the default font in Emacs 22.3 by using the Options
menu item Set Font/Fontset... and then selecting Lucida Sans Typewriter from
the resulting dialogue box. Save Options doesn't seem to save this default
font setting in Emacs 22.3, so I use the customize buffer to save it. Then I
open Emacs 23.0.93, which uses Adobe Caslon Pro as the default font. This is
on a computer running Windows Vista. When I originally reported this bug I
was using a different computer running Windows XP and probably a slightly
different set of installed fonts, although they both have Sanvito, which I
think is another Adobe font.
