However, both these commands FAIL (no PDF created at all):

From the massive dump of output (containing lots of private paths and stuff), I was able to extract out these clues:

=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 xdvipdfmx:fatal: This font using the "seac" comm= and for =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 accented characters...
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 No output PDF file written.

What does it mean? What exactly is wrong? In Windows' font dir, there is a "Courier Standard", which, when opened, is simply called "Courier". Both of those strings result in the nonsensical error.

DuckDuckGo is your friend. :-) The info I'm finding on the net is that this indicates the font you're using is a Postscript Type 1 font, which XeTeX doesn't fully support. It should work if you use is a TTF or an OTF font. (The file name should have a `.ttf` or `.otf` file extension. Type 1 fonts will have `.pfb`, `.pfm` or `.afm`, according to Wikipedia.)

Note that the name under which a font is known to the system (and under which XeLaTeX would search for it) is not necessarily identical to the file name of the font on disk. The Windows control panel should have an option to view the fonts installed on your system. (Just quoting what I read online here. I can't check myself because I don't have access to Windows.)
