It's strange that the first font listing is for that
pattern.  The first one should be:

ftfont-list: -Adobe-courier-*-iso8859-1

Are you sure that you followed the above procedure exactly
without doing anything else?

And please show me the result of this too:

% xlsfonts -fn '-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal-*'

It seems that you have three kinds of courier fonts:
      X: -adobe-courier-* (bitmap fonts, same as below)
    Xft: -Adobe-courier-* (/usr/share/fonts/X11/*dpi/cour*.pcf.gz)
X alias: -urw-nimbus mono l-* (Type1 scalable fonts)
