font-lock-face-attributes not changing

[Ken Goldman]

I have a common .emacs file that I use across Linux and Windows 
platforms.  One one (24.3.1, a bit newer than the others) , 
font-lock-face-attributes has no effect.  I get the default colors.

When I start .emacs, I don't see any warnings, and messages says the 
.emacs is being read.  What else should I look for?

The other hint is that it claims this is an invalid face, but it works 
on several other Linux platforms.

(set-face-foreground 'modeline     "navy")
(set-face-background 'modeline     "lightblue1")

The relevant line is:

(setq font-lock-face-attributes
