If you want your changes to play nicely with the Custom interface, you
should use `custom-set-faces'.
Obviously, code in .emacs is allowed to do anything. So for example if
you really don't want to use `custom-set-faces', you could set the
`face-defface-spec' symbol property directly. But this will cause the
original spec to be lost, and also you have to make sure that the face
has already been defined with defface, i.e. it's listed in
`face-new-frame-defaults' etc.

I'll see what I can do.
