Emacs picks up `adobe-courier-medium' (an x font) for the courier
family. Surprisingly, this font doesn't turn up in the GTK menu and
it confused me.
So, I cooked up the attached font-family.el to examine the various
fonts that Emacs recognizes. Here is how you use it:
1. M-x load-library font-family.el
2. M-x list-font-families
3. RET to set the frame font
4. x to change the displayed string
(Do you think above the file will be useful to a larger audience?)
There are couple of issues that I ran in to wrt `font-family-list':
1. GUI dialog doesn't display 'X' fonts (that Emacs falls back upon)
2. (font-family-list) returns "nil".
3. (font-family-list) returns duplicate family names.
4. (delete-dups (font-family-list)) STILL has duplicate entries.
See the attached screenshot.

Drew wants coloration. IMNSHO, Choosing Blue as the effective may not
be problematic.
Here is the scorecard:
