I haven't seen the rest of the thread, so I don't know what problem
you're trying to solve, but this seems wrong to me.
If the face says "courier" then Emacs should use courier if it's available.
The fontset's family should only be obeyed for faces that do not set the
`family' property or when the face family cannot be found with the
desired encoding.
