[h-e-w] Font lock changes (v20.7 to v21.2)

I decided to upgrade to v21, when I learned that v21.2 has come out.
It appears that something changed with font-lock.  I have code like this,

   ;; font-lock stuff
   (defun bpringle-set-colours () 
     "Set the colours of the current frame"
     (require 'font-lock)
     (require 'ediff)
     (setq font-lock-maximum-decoration 3)
     (copy-face 'italic 'font-lock-comment-face)
     (copy-face 'bold 'font-lock-function-name-face)
     (copy-face 'default 'font-lock-string-face)
     (copy-face 'default 'font-lock-variable-name-face)
     (copy-face 'italic 'font-lock-keyword-face)
     (copy-face 'default 'font-lock-type-face)

     (set-background-color "black")
     (set-foreground-color "LightGrey")
     (set-cursor-color "green")
     (set-face-foreground 'font-lock-builtin-face "SpringGreen")
     (set-face-foreground 'font-lock-comment-face "Coral")
     (set-face-foreground 'font-lock-function-name-face "Orange")
     (set-face-foreground 'font-lock-string-face "DarkSlateBlue")
     (set-face-foreground 'font-lock-variable-name-face "LightSteelBlue")

For some reason v21 sets the backgroud face for
`font-lock-string-face' to be white.  Which looks bad because I have a
black screen backgroud.  Maybe there was not `face-background' before
this version?  I figured out how to setup the colour along time ago
and I forget all of the handy functions for finding out what faces are
set to.  I know to run `list-faces-display'.  I see some freaky
bizarre Info fonts that have a different point size.  I run `info' and
run a search on colour, but I don't find anything.  Can some one point
me to an info node on the new features in v21?

tia,
Bill Pringlemeir.
