Reset face and Custom

Custom uses faces-spec-set to change fonts, which amounts to (reset-face face) (face-display-set face spec) (while frames (face-display-set face spec (car frames)) (pop frames)) (init-face-from-resources face)))) Now if face is default the default face is totally hosed by (reset-face 'default) In a vannilla XEmacs this gives a white background. 1. What should (reset-face 'default) do? 2. Shouldn't (init-face-from-resources 'default) set it to the standard grayXX setting? Jan
