Well, I tried M-x and C-h v with frame-parameters, no luck.

Notice that "iso" is lowercase. The font strings in the emacs21-x binary
aappear to be lower case also. xfontsel can find the font you describe.
Emacs is using at least three different fonts, that I can see:
- Menubar & menu pulldown (working)
- buffer text (broken)
- tooltips (broken)
Changing the font in mule, fixes only the second one and only temporarily.
And you don't have something set in ~/.Xresources, I assume?
Neither root nor whitis has a .Xresources file.
dpkg --purge --force-depends xfonts-base
doesn't help
That would be very much _not_ recommended anyway.
Well, it was actually recommended on the debian wiki, surprisingly. I
did reinstall xfonts-base after doing that, which they didn't suggest.
I restarted the font server and emacs in each state.
FontPath in xorg.conf includes /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc and
/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1 - about three times each.
That is probably irrelevant - what you need are the courier fonts, which
are included in the xfonts-{75,100}dpi packages.
I mentioned those because they appeared in documentation related to font
problems with emacs and/or with the transition to X11R7.

xfs is not running:
rc xfs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1 X font server
apt-get install xfs xfonts-base
/etc/init.d/xfs start
still broken.
xfs is running now, but xfsinfosays "xfsinfo: no font server defined"
and xfsinfo -server localhost:7100 doesn't work, either. But
X.org does have the regular font paths to search as well.
Tried C-u C-x = on a invisable character then switching to a a
readable font:
character: C (0103, 67, 0x43)
charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
code point: 67
syntax: word
category: a:ASCII l:Latin
buffer code: 0x43
file code: 0x43 (encoded by coding system undecided-dos)
font: -- none --
That's bad, in a working Emacs the font's name would be displayed.
yep. It is displayed when I have set the font with mule.
Looking at *Messages* buffer after switching to a readable font had
some error messages about nimbus-mono fonts. System -> apearance ->
fonts ->
details -> go to fonts folder shows Nimbus Mono L, nimbus mono l bold,
nimbus mono l bold oblique, nimbus mono l oblique are all present and
the system fixed width font is monospace 10. xlsfonts says there are
lots of nimbus mono's, but they all have "0" instead of "16" in the
first numeric field. So this could be a fixed font vs resizable
font issue.
-urw-nimbus mono l-regular-r-normal--16-125-99-99-p-0-iso8859-1
vs:
-urw-nimbus mono l-regular-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
I wonder why Emacs bothers about these fonts. Can you try to remove the
package(s) that contain them, whatever they may be
("apt-cache search nimbus" gives no result on my system, so I don't know)?
apt-cache search nimbus
no results
find /usr/share/fonts -iname '*nimbus*' -print
(no results)
find /usr/lib/X11/ -iname '*nimbus*' -print
(no results)
these fonts are listed in /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/fonts.*
dpkg --search n022004l.pfb
gsfonts-x11: /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/n022004l.pfb
So, probably not a good idea to get rid of a ghostscript font. So, I did
the opposite, apt-get install gsfonts gsfonts-x11
still broken.
Actually, removing those packages looks like a real mess:
