The problem is, which font to specify explicitly? Not all platforms have=20 a font named "Courier". Mine doesn't (Fedora 23). If we knew that all=20 Emacs platforms had an appropriate font (Courier, or FreeMono, or Nimbus=20 Mono L, or whatever), we could specify that font, but I do not know of=20 any such font, nor do I know how to query arbitrary platforms for such a=20 font. In further testing on my Fedora 23 host I discovered another suitable=20 anti-aliased font, Courier 10 Pitch. It is also a free font and looks a=20 bit better with emacs -Q, and Wikipedia says Courier 10 Pitch BT is the=20 default Courier font on many GNU/Linux hosts=20 .=20 So I will update my proposed patch to prefer Courier 10 Pitch to the=20 alternatives already in the list.
