Thanks.   That's sort of it. 

However, I am looking for a comprehensive list of all faces available.  What 

M-x list-faces-display

Gives me, I believe, is what I am currently using, not the list of all possible faces that could be chosen.

Paul, you are probably looking for these:

M-x list-colors-display
M-x list-faces-display

It should work unless the faces are overwritten by some other settings.
Is your custom file loaded in the first place?

(setq custom-file "~/.emacs-custom.el")
(load custom-file)

You can place it at the end of your .emacs to be sure nothing is overwritten.

HTH,
