My copy of the Courier font was installed by 'texlive-fonts-recommended'.
If you want 'Courier 10pitch' instead of the original Courier, you need the
package 'xfonts-scalable'.
The ttf-mscorefonts package from contrib mentioned before, does *not* seem to
contain the original Courier font, only Microsoft's variant 'Courier New'.
In case you *did* mean MS's 'Courier New' instead of 'Courier':
If you need to view documents with Microsoft's Courier New , Arial or Times New
Roman and you don't care about the fonts specifically, only that formatting
is right, you can replace them with free metric-compatible fonts:
Either (Arimo, Cousine and Tinos) from fonts-croscore or the Liberation font
family from fonts-liberation. These packages are in main.
Most programs seem to pick them up as replacements automatically, if
installed. In case this doesn't work you can alias them in your fontconfig
configuration.
