Ah, the package gsfonts-X11 seems to provide fonts.alias for URW Type1
fonts. Anyway, I think the behavior originally reported as Bug#3228
is actually consistent in the sense that "% emacs -fn courier-12" also
displays the text in "ugly" font in OP's environment.
Also, x-select-font is a function for a generic font selection dialog,
not specific to menu-select-font. So its result should not include
font type property only for menu-select-font.
I've pushed the patch to master as e2d8c1e8bcf. Closing the bug.
