User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060309 Firefox/1.6a1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060309 Firefox/1.6a1

The text displayed when "font-family: Courier;" is part of a style sheet or <font face="Courier"> is used is incorrect.  Odd characters are displayed in the wrong font.  
This works correctly in firefox 1.5 (Gecko/20060111), but not in the build I am currently using (see above).  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Save '<body style="font-family: Courier;">Test</body>' to a file
2. Open it in the browser
- OR -
3. Goto 'http://www.cs.csustan.edu/%7ersc/SDSU/GLUTinstall.html' (where I spotted the bug).  
Actual Results:  
'7HVW' is printed (although if you copy and paste the text you see 'Test') in a serif font (I'm not sure what font it is).  

Expected Results:  
'Test' printed in Courier/Courier New

This could quite possibly be related to bug 324706.

This is an outright dupe IMO.
