You can set them in initial- and default-frame-alist:

	(setq initial-frame-alist
	  (append (list
	    '(border-color      . "#4e3832")
	    '(foreground-color  . "grey10")
	    '(background-color  . "AliceBlue")
	    '(active-alpha      . 0.875)
	    '(inactive-alpha    . 0.75)
	    '(font . "fontset-10pt_lucida_sans_typewriter")
	    '(top . 136) '(left . 666) '(width . 100) '(height . 57)
	  ) initial-frame-alist))

To find a suitable font (maybe save that huge list in *completions*  
buffer):

	M-x set-frame-font RET TAB TAB

Miles Bader wrote list-fonts-display, which shows the name of the  
fonts using the font.
