I was using an old piece of emacs lisp (that I got from the djgpp
_emacs.xmpl file by Eli Zaretskii) in my .emacs file.  It broke after
font-lock-reference-face went away.  The old code set
font-lock-face-attributes directly, but the code below uses the
documented set-face-foreground command instead.  

(progn        ; Font-locking faces set-up
  (setq
   font-lock-maximum-decoration t
   font-lock-maximum-size (if font-lock-maximum-decoration
                              (* 70 1024)
                              (* 150 1024)))
  (defvar elc-font-lock-faces-alist
    '((font-lock-comment-face . "lightgreen")
      (font-lock-string-face . "yellow")
      (font-lock-keyword-face . "white")
      (font-lock-type-face . "white")
      (font-lock-function-name-face . "gold")
      (font-lock-variable-name-face . "lightblue")
      (font-lock-constant-face . "lightblue"))
    "mapping of font lock faces to my favorite corresponding colors")
  (mapc '(lambda (p) 
          (let ((face (car p))
                (color (cdr p)))
            (set-face-foreground face color))) 
        elc-font-lock-faces-alist))
