Oh yes, i did not metion it in the mail.
I used setq in my custominit.org
and this solved my problem but has some limitations, because i can't change
the color of the forground.
that's why i am interesting to know how can i hack this face to get it
fully costumizable (lispy way)

thank's again for your response
