Faces are different from variables. Nevertheless, there are other ways to change
face properties than using `custom-set-faces'. Look at `defface' and functions
such as `set-face-attribute' (`set-face-*', in general).

However, this is what I'd recommend: Set variable `custom-file' to the name of a
different file from `.emacs', e.g. `~/rodolfo-custom-file', and then use
Customize. It's much easier and cleaner than you think. This will keep all of
the ugly Customize-maintained stuff out of your `.emacs'. See the Emacs manual,
node Saving Customizations.
