Changing the default printer is almost certainly the culprit here.

When running Frame, your default printer should always be Adobe PDF. 
Physical printers installed on your system come with "device" fonts. 
What that means is that the printer driver tells the operating system 
that Courier is available inside the printer, so the OS makes it 
available to Frame, even though Courier was never really installed. The 
Adobe PDF printer doesn't allow device fonts, so you won't run into this 
again (after you fix your files so they don't reference fonts you don't 
have installed).

You have, I think, three choices:

1) Change back to the old default printer. Courier should come back, but 
you'll have to remember to use that printer whenever you open those files.

2) Install Courier. Go to Control Panel > Fonts, and install Courier. 
The Courier you install may not be exactly the same as the 
printer-resident Courier, so this may not solve the problem. It's also 
kind of a waste, because you already should have Courier New installed. 
Courier New is pretty much identical to Courier. It installs with 
Windows, and it's just about impossible to get rid of, so I'm sure you 
have it.

3) Substitute Courier New. Find where Courier is used and use Courier 
New instead.

Meanwhile, think about using Adobe PDF as your default printer. Sheila 
mentioned a utility called SetPrint that will change the default printer 
while Frame is running (I think that's how it works) so you'll still 
have the real default available to other apps.
