I don't understand why the default font is very ugly. Emacs
by default tries these:
-adobe-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1
-*-*-medium-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1
-*-*-medium-r-*-*-*-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1
-*-fixed-*-*-*-*-*-140-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1
fixed
Do you mean that Emacs finds none of them?

When I start Emacs as you do, it starts without an error and
uses this font:
-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--17-120-100-100-m-100-iso8859-1
So, I don't understand why it doesn't work for you. Please
rebuild Emacs and run Emacs under gdb as below:
% cd .../emacs/src
% rm xfont.o
% make CFLAGS=-g
% gdb emacs
(gdb) br xfont_list
(gdb) run -fn "-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--*-120-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1"
and when it stops at xfont_list, check the argument `spec' by
(gdb) pr spec
and step the code one line by one to find what is wrong.
