Hello,
I'm using a text editing software called "Emacs." This software uses the term "faces" instead of "fonts." So, in Emacs terminologies saying "I'm setting the face" is more proper than saying "I'm setting the font"

However, when there are more customization related to fonts, is it correct to say?:

Faces-related customizations.

Notice, I used the word "Faces" and used the dash. I'm not sure about the use of the plural here. I'm also not sure about the use of the dash. Is it okay to use the dash in this situation?

I'd use the singular. The hyphen's fine. Face-related customisations.
Edit: Or just "Face customisations".


and used the dash.
Note that a dash and a hyphen are different things. In your phrase, you need a hyphen.

Do Americans spell "customisations" with the letter "z" a z letter? Ccustomizations?
Or: Do Americans spell "customisations" with a "z" letter?

Yes.

Sorry, I should have used the same spelling you did.
