Having to find all the things in emacs that use distinct faces and
come up with new settings for all of them is exactly what I did not
want to do.

I'm still not sure why font-lock seemed to be on by default on my
system, but now that my .emacs is disabling it thanks to the help
people have provided here, I'm much happier.

But thanks for posting you configuration, and I may try it in the
future.
