Try this:
Options > Customize Emacs > Specific Face > default
then set all the parameters
finally Set for Current Session and Save for Future Sessions
this will write a form to your .emacs
e.g.in mine

(custom-set-faces
  ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it!
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 '(default ((t (:stipple nil :background "ghostwhite" :foreground "black"
:inverse-video nil :box nil :strike-through nil :overline nil :underline
nil :slant normal :weight normal :height 108 :width normal :family
"outline-arial unicode ms")))))
