(setq default-frame-alist (quote ((background-mode . dark) (border-color . "black") (cursor-color . "LightGray") (mouse-color . "Grey") (background-color . "darkslategrey") (foreground-color . "wheat") (font . "-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-r-normal--13-120-*-*-*-*-*-*"))))



Which translates to

(set-default-font "-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-r-normal--13-120-*-*-*-*-*-*")

Excellent.
