It worked, but I automated it by modifying `default-frame-alist', so
that there is no need to choose fontset by hands.  (In fact, I later
abandoned cronyx courier since it is not completely fixed-width, but
that is a separate matter.)  So, your code is fine except that it
requires minor manual intervention.
