> Oh, yes, it is defined. Try (facep 'lsl-global-variable)
> But a face is not a variable, so (boundp 'lsl-global-variable) is nil.

In addition, do not use the group you are defining as a parent group:

(defgroup lsl-faces nil
  "Faces for lsl-mode."
  :group 'lsl-faces ; <=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D REMOVE THIS
  :group 'faces)
