Hi Ben,

The gl2ps utility only supports a few fonts [1], i.e. those that are
"guaranteed to be available to the viewer application". Our implementation
substitutes any unsupported font by Helvetica. 
In this case, the problem is that Octave expects lowercase and thus doesn't
recognize "Courier" as it expects you to write it "courier". I'll fix this by
lowercasing the fontname before comparison with supported fonts. 

If I replace "Courier" by "courier" in your example the eps actually uses
courier font. The workaround is thus to use lowercase fontnames among
"courier", "times-roman" (or "times"),"zapfdingbats" or "symbol".
