You need to configure emacs not to request a font that doesn't exist.
In your case, this means changing -adobe-courier- to -ibm-courier-

Because you don't give any details about the linux configuration (i.e.
where the font is specified), it's impossible to be more precise than 
that.

You should probably look in the linux box's app-defaults directory, and
also ~/.Xdefaults and/or ~/.Xresources, but it could also be in any of 
the emacs lisp, or even specified on the command-line.
