If I do "M-x customize-face RET > > default RET", the family that I see is "TlwgMono". It's quite likely that the distribution is preconfigured to contain aliases for common Windows font names, so that the user does not get "Font not found" messages about them when they receive documents from Windows users. Look in /etc/fonts/conf.d for files containing snippets like: TlwgMono Courier New Or, reverse the order of the fonts in your .emacs, so "Ubuntu Mono" is preferred over "Courier New".
