Thanks, but I cannot reproduce this, it works just fine for me.

I see this note in my ~/.emacs

(custom-set-faces
  ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
  ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.

Could you please ensure that this is not the case for you?
