Customizing face default is broken for me too - placing in my .emacs
something like the following seems to work though (you might want to
replace the font name (DejaVu Sans Mono) and size (10)):

(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "DejaVu Sans Mono-10"))

;; also for custom default background + foreground colors:
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(background-color . "midnightblue"))
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(foreground-color . "lightgoldenrod"))


I filed it as a bug:
