Please type C-u C-x = before and after decreasing the font size, and
report exactly what fonts are used in each case.

No similar problem happens on Windows here either, but if your original
font really is the bitmap font "Courier" and not the scalable font
"Courier New", then the problem might be that the original font is not
available in the smaller size. If so, then it is probably possible to
reproduce the bug on X using a non-scalable font.
