Re: 21.4.21 and font-lock-add-keywords

Hi John, On Jan 7, 2008 8:56 AM, John Kuhns <john(a)designadvance.com&gt; wrote: It looks like you are the victim of an incomplete sync with Emacs. The code to use the values passed to font-lock-add-keywords was never put into XEmacs. In short, font-lock-add-keywords does not do anything useful in any released version of XEmacs. If you can compile your own XEmacs, try the patch below, which fixes the problem for me. Also, you should change your code above in one of two ways. First, use add-one-shot-hook instead of add-hook, or you'll keep adding the same expression to the font-lock keywords for Lisp every time you open a Lisp file. Second, don't use a hook at all: just make the (font-lock-add-keywords ...) call in your .xemacs/init.el file. Finally, it appears that "\\<＠" doesn't match " ＠". I don't know why (probably something to do with ＠ not being a word character), or whether that is correct, but a workaround is to change your regexp like this: (font-lock-add-keywords 'lisp-mode '(("\\(\\<then\\|\\<else\\|＠key\\|＠optional\\)\\>" . font-lock-keyword-face))) diff -r e8f448f997ac lisp/font-lock.el --- a/lisp/font-lock.el Mon Jan 14 15:25:22 2008 +0100 +++ b/lisp/font-lock.el Mon Jan 14 12:55:39 2008 -0700 ＠＠ -959,7 +959,7 ＠＠ see the variables `c-font-lock-extra-typ (let ((was-compiled (eq (car font-lock-keywords) t))) ;; Bring back the user-level (uncompiled) keywords.
