In info it says
Another more basic way to set the attributes of a specific face is
with `M-x modify-face'. This command reads the name of a face, then
reads the attributes one by one. For the color and stipple attributes,
the attribute's current value is the default--type just <RET> if you
don't want to change that attribute. Type `none' if you want to clear
out the attribute.
OK, during the query the user process it doesn't mention what the
current default for stipple is in the minibuffer, and the several y or
n questions, it doesn't provide a default choice, and doesn't allow
RET as an answer. Also (describe-function (quote modify-face)) could
give a few more tips like info does here.
By the way, looking at list-faces-display's output, one would also
want a C-u list-faces-display, giving also the details on each face;
details suitable for plugging into the arguments of the command
modify-face.
Also, say you find that your GNU/Linux distributor has cranked
font-lock-comment-face into a hard to read deep red state, you see
another face you like, can you somehow do (put 'font-lock-comment-face
'font-lock-warning-face) or whatever? You don't explain it, at least
on a brief peek I did, so add to docs...
