I don't know where these faces come from, but the TeX package defines a
face tex-verbatim that explicitly sets the font-family to "courier". It
turns out that code to filter out Windows' unwelcome font substitutions
was incorrectly filtering real bitmap fonts like "courier". It should be
fixed now.

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

unreadable. Is there a temporary fix for this bug?
