Re: Highlighting a face?

Johann 'Myrkraverk' Oskarsson writes: So exactly what is it that you're trying to do here? You want variable names in *bold*, or in *bold and highlighted*? If it's the former, I think you can do what you want to do with the 'inherit property: (set-face-property 'font-lock-variable-name-face 'inherit '(bold)) However, I don't see a real advantage in that over (make-face-bold 'font-lock-variable-name-face) or (set-face-property 'font-lock-variable-name-face 'bold t) (these last two have the same effect, the former involves more computation, some of it sort of heuristic in some cases). Note that on a TTY, these properties are determined by whether the terminal supports them according to terminfo (or maybe termcap). I don't understand what "value for bold" you're talking about, or why you even mention the value for bold. The 'highlight property is a Boolean specifier. The values associated with the specifier shown below are all nil or t, and in particular the value for the 'global locale with a display of tty class is indeed t. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
