To summarize the responses a posting I made a month or two ago:
Adobe's Courier PS font was changed in late 1989 from a stroked representation
to an outline representation. Also, the "weight" of the font was reduced.
Version 002.000 through 002.003 exhibit this.
Version 002.004, completed in Sept 1991, fixed these problems.
I don't know where to get it. I think it ships with ATM these days.
Don't bother trying to fix the old font; just get the new one.
