 > Yes, you're right, we only have Courier New and Courier 10, 12, 15.

Now we're getting somewhere. Courier is not installed. Copy it from 
another machine and install it. The filenames for Type 1 Adobe Courier 
regular, oblique, bold, and bold oblique are:

com_____.pfb
com_____.pfm
coo_____.pfb
coo_____.pfm
cob_____.pfb
cob_____.pfm
cobo____.pfb
cobo____.pfm

In fact, I have a feeling you have these somewhere on *your* machine; 
they should have come with Acrobat. They're just not installed right 
now. Again, I don't know for sure whether this is the version of Courier 
Frame is looking for, but it would be my first choice.

So what do your custom-made fonts have to do with the missing Courier? 
If you're seeing them in Control Panel > Fonts, then they're installed. 
If they're installed, then they should be showing up in Frame. Right?
