The problem here is that font-lock-comment-face does not yet exist at
the point where set-face-foreground line from your .emacs is
evaluated.

The usual method to overcome that is to create the face with a call
to make-face just before that line.  Alternatively, figure out what
part of your .emacs causes font-lock to be loaded, and place the
set-face-foreground line after that.
