A question about non-window terminals

[xinxiang]

Hi everyone,

I have a question about the lisp language in emacs.
I want to set the default face color and fontset by myself, but I still
want to use the default configure while using non-windows terminals.
Is there any function or env I can use to recognize the terminal type?
Like to check if the current emacs session is started with "emacs -nw",
use the default setting, otherwise use custom setting.

Does anyone konw the answer?
Thanks very much for your time!

Xin

	(defconst mEV (emacs-version)
	  "Keep the Emacs version string,
	   that is needed a few times.")
	(defconst mWS (symbol-value 'window-system)
	  "Running as some windowing system's client,
	   or as slave of a terminal emulator?")
	
	(cond ((string= "x" mWS)
	 (message "Sind in X11")

	))             Ende X11
	(cond ((string= "mac" mWS)

or
