In the current development version, the backtrace is more informative:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Font not available" #<font-spec nil
outline Courier\
New normal iso10646-1 normal r normal nil 96 110 nil ((:name .
"-outline-Courier
New-normal-r-normal-normal-*-*-96-96-c-*-iso10646-1") (user-spec .
"-outline-Courier
New-normal-r-normal-normal-*-*-96-96-c-*-iso10646-1"))>)
New normal iso10646-1 normal r normal nil 96 110 nil ((:name .
"-outline-Courier\nNew-normal-r-normal-normal-*-*-96-96-c-*-iso10646-1")
(user-spec .
"-outline-Courier\nNew-normal-r-normal-normal-*-*-96-96-c-*-iso10646-1"))>))
internal-set-lisp-face-attribute(default :font
"-outline-Courier\nNew-normal-r-normal-normal-*-*-96-96-c-*-iso10646-1" #<frame
courier 038C9028>)
set-face-attribute(default #<frame courier 038C9028> :width normal :weight
normal :slant normal :font
"-outline-Courier\nNew-normal-r-normal-normal-*-*-96-96-c-*-iso10646-1")
set-frame-font("-outline-Courier\nNew-normal-r-normal-normal-*-*-96-96-c-*-iso10646-1")
eval((set-frame-font
"-outline-Courier\nNew-normal-r-normal-normal-*-*-96-96-c-*-iso10646-1") nil)
So the problem is that newline embedded in the middle of the font
name. If I remove the newline, replacing it with a blank, I see no
backtrace.
