HI,
 the workaround does not work for me.
 Regardless, what I am setting with "set-face-font", 
 XEmacs insists of using the unreadable 
 "-*-courier-medium-i-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*"-font
 I checked the existence of alternate fonts with xfontsel and gimp and
 copied the appropiate string via cute'n'paste to the minibuffer (so no typos)
 --- nothing changes....
 Any further help available?
 Thank you very much in advance !

 Known bug in Customize, fix not yet known.
 
 Use M-: (set-face-font ...) RET as a workaround for now.  Sorry.
