unreadable color: how to change lisp comment color (and find its font face)?

[Markus Dehmann]

I use color-theme, and I like color-theme-xp (sorry!). However, there
is one disturbing thing about it: It shows lisp comments (e.g. in
my .emacs) in the same color as the background! How can I change that?

I know I can do M-x color-theme-print and it prints the function for
the color theme, which I can modify. But I don't know what font-face
is used by lisp comments, so I can't change its appearance.

How can I find out what font-face is used by lisp comments so I can
change its color?

Thanks!
Markus

In emacs22 just put point where the comment is, and invoke M-x
describe-face.
Looks like font-lock-comment-face is what you are looking for.

Set point on a comment and hit `M-x describe-face'.  You can also use
`M-x customize-face' to modify it.

Thanks all!

Yes, changing font-lock-comment does the trick. M-x describe-face
doesn't work for me, but that's probably because I have an old emacs
version (21.3.1).

With Emacs 21.3 use M-x list-text-properties-at instead.
