I use Dina too. Try instead this:
"-raster-Dina-normal-r-normal-normal-13-97-96-96-c-*-iso8859-1"

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?

Choosing the wrong font? To see a list of all the fonts GNU Emacs
sees, you can just try to create this list of completions:
M-x set-frame-font RET TAB TAB
and save the buffer (if you try file name completion to save it you
might substitute its contents with possible file name completions).
Now can choose from the list an existing font that the X server
provides.
Another option would be to use:
(setq initial-frame-alist '(
(mouse-color . "midnightblue")
(foreground-color . "grey20")
(background-color . "alice blue")
(internal-border-width . 2)
(line-spacing . 1)
(active-alpha . 0.875)
(inactive-alpha . 0.75)
(font . "-apple-courier std-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-mac-roman")
(top . 25) (left . 650) (width . 91) (height . 50)))
(setq default-frame-alist '(
(border-color . "#4e3831")
(foreground-color . "grey10")
(background-color . "ghost white")
(vertical-scroll-bars . left)
(cursor-color . "purple")
(cursor-type . box)
(active-alpha . 0.75)
(inactive-alpha . 0.875)
(font . "-*-*-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-osaka")
(top . 50) (left . 150) (width . 89) (height . 56)))

We have to expect it, otherwise we would be surprised.

OK, did that and I can see the Dina fonts in the output. When I select
any one of the Dina entries, however, Emacs winds up using a different
font.
Emacs is silently ignoring the Dina fonts and picking something else
instead. Why?

Does it also happen with the *-frame-alist's? Does it happen also
when you copy the font names from the *Completions* buffer? If so and
if so in an Emacs launched with -Q then it's worth a bug report (from
Help menu).

Does this provide any new insights? If not, I'll create the bug report.

There is also the modern function set-frame-font ...
Obviously something fails, because set-default-font returns nil. You
could try to use edebug to see more details – actually I am not
really experienced in this. At least you could use your time while
waiting for a response to your bug report ...

Are you running emacs 23? Was it working and then stopped after an emacs
upgrade?
If so, the problem may be you need to tell emacs which font backend to
use. I had a similar problem some weeks back and solved it by putting
Emacs.fontBackend: xft
in my .Xresources file
