Being able to see and use Courier 10, 12, and 15 is indicative of having something fishy on your printer setup. It's almost certain they're VGA fonts and sizes that are installed with Windows or possibly with some older line printers. As far as I know they were only meant for use as screen fonts in DOS apps. Here's a list for WinXP: <http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=326402>

Notice that it calls the ".fon" fonts hidden fonts.

do you have files called "coure.fon or courf.fon" on your system(s)?

Ken -- if I'm reading his msg correctly, Roger means that they've had a customized version of Courier created for them, "bespoke font"
