OK. You must have a font able to match the following XLFD:
        -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal-*-%d-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
(you may have to put aliases if you distribution is not aliasing -adobe-* to
-urw-*)

Curiously, the "fixed" last resort font did was not loaded; I don't know
why. 

I'm committing the patch which is appended here (font.diff)

I'm a little reluctant to make call this worthy of a "brown bag" release;
the FreeType build compile is probably due to missing -devel packages. I
don't want to investigate more on code which will probably be scrapped in
fifteen days.

If you have success or at least slightly improved behaviour with this patch,
I'll be very happy to know. Otherwise, I think you'd probably better ask
SuSE for updated packages.
