Problem with colors in emacs

Problem with colors in emacs

	Hi all,

	I have been having a problem with emacs and its colors. I upgraded to
version 20.7.1 and that is when it started happening. Unfortunately,
along with emacs, I upgraded quite a few other packages, so I am not
sure whether the problem isn't in one of them.	I have attached a couple
of screen shots so you can see what is happening. As you can see, if the
text does not have coloring it appears on a white background.	

	Here is the command line that I am using:	
	emacs -fn 6x13 -bg black -fg white -cr red -ms yellow

	Please, let me know if you have any ideas about this?

	Thanx

Dimitar,

Try using M-x customize to set the value of your Default face (under 
Faces, Basic Faces) to white on black, and save it for future 
sessions.  This will put something like

(custom-set-faces
  '(default ((t (:foreground "white" :background "black")))))

in your .emacs file.
