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.
