Your font specification should be:

Display: all
Attributes: [X] Bold: on
            [ ] Italic: off
            [ ] Underline: off
            [ ] Foreground: black (sample)
            [ ] Background: white (sample)
            [ ] Stipple:  
            [X] Font Family:  courier
            [X] Size:  14pt

  does that not work for you?

  That looks right, given the font you quoted above.  What fonts exactly
are smaller than normal, and are they customized as well?  Could the
bold/italic stuff be getting set from the main face, and then customize
comes in and changes the default face to be slightly bigger?
