Try copying your current .emacs file to another file name.

Then make a new .emacs file just containing

(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font .
"-outline-CourierNew-normal-r-normal-normal-24-180-96-96-c-*-iso8859-1"))

That should tell you if the problem you are seeing is a bug in your
.emacs file or a bug in Emacs.  A bug in emacs is unlikely but not
impossible.
