It's possible that your definition of the normal face prevents font
customizations.  Can you try removing (or commenting out) this line in
your .emacs:

     '(default ((t (:stipple nil :background "black" :foreground "wheat" 
:inverse-video nil :box nil :strike-through nil :overline nil :underline nil 
:slant normal :weight normal :height 180 :width normal :family 
"adobe-courier"))))

and see if this makes the problem go away?

If that doesn't help, please try selectively removing parts of this
.emacs until you find the minimal part that causes the problem.  It is
very hard to debug a problem that depends on so many customizations.
