Re: faces being ignored?

Mmmm, this seems to be odder than I thought.  Even trying to set the
faces using a mode hook doesn't seem to work.  I have the following
(shortened) in my .emacs:

(defun do-w3-font-hook()
  (custom-set-faces
   ;; basic face
   '(w3-style-face-00000 ((t (:family "helvetica"
			      :weight normal
                              :underline nil
                              :foreground "wheat"
                              :background "darkslategray"))))
[...]

   ;; 00006 sets <strong>
   '(w3-style-face-00006 ((t (:family "helvetica"
			      :weight bold
                              :underline nil
                              :foreground "wheat"
                              :background "darkslategray"))))
   ))

(add-hook 'w3-mode-hook 'do-w3-font-hook)

Bizarrely this doesn't seem to get loaded when I first read an html mail
in gnus.  However, if I redisplay, or try to follow a link, sure enough
from that point on, my faces come up good and true.

So what's wrong with the initial loading?

Well, naturally it is!

But your suggestion seems to have done the trick, so many thanks for
that.
