Here's the difference. The former is the way I like it (:bold; not
:medium).  I don't know what :style is or why they're different.  It
all appears the same except for the weight of the characters.

(add-spec-list-to-specifier
 (face-property 'default 'font)
 '((global (nil . "-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--*-140-75-75-m-0-iso8859-1"))))

(font-default-object-for-device)
[:family ("courier") :weight :bold :style 2 :size 14 :registry "ISO8859" :encoding "1"]

[ set face using customize, as specified above ]

(font-default-object-for-device)
[:family ("courier") :weight :medium :style 0 :size 14 :registry "ISO8859" :encoding "1"]

This issue seems to not exist in b11.  When I reported it before, it
