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.
