Re: defface not defining a face?

[Jambunathan K <kjambunathan@gmail.com>]

This one is right from my .emacs.  The default values of highlight faces
is not to my taste.  I have some 8-9 faces which are defined like this.

(defface highlight-1
  '((((min-colors 88) (background dark))
     (:background "yellow1" :foreground "black"))
    (((background dark)) (:background "yellow" :foreground "black"))
    (((min-colors 88)) (:background "yellow1"))
    (t (:background "yellow")))
  "Default face for hi-lock mode."
  :group 'highlight-faces)

(defface highlight-2
  '((((background dark)) (:background "pink" :foreground "black"))
    (t (:background "pink")))
  "Face for hi-lock mode."
  :group 'highlight-faces)

(defface highlight-3
  '((((min-colors 88) (background dark))
     (:background "green1" :foreground "black"))
    (((background dark)) (:background "green" :foreground "black"))
    (((min-colors 88)) (:background "green1"))
    (t (:background "green")))
  "Face for hi-lock mode."
  :group 'highlight-faces)

(defvar hi-lock-face-regexp "\\`highlight-.*")

(setq hi-lock-face-defaults
      ((lambda (regexp)
	 "List of faces that match REGEXP."
	 (delq nil
	       (mapcar (lambda (f)
			 (let ((s (symbol-name f)))
			   (when (string-match regexp s) s)))
		       (reverse (face-list)))))
       hi-lock-face-regexp))
