Re: global font-lock?

-- "Stephen J. Turnbull" <stephen(a)xemacs.org&gt; spake thusly: I'm not sure I agree with that. It seems like XEmacs is trying to enable font-lock for all buffers if font-lock-auto-fontify is set, but is only getting buffers that are associated with files because there's no appropiate hook for buffers which aren't. GNU Emacs hacks around this in a weird way to get it to work for all buffers. The variable that controls whether this happens in GNU Emacs is global-font-lock-mode. The functionality for font-lock-auto-fontify is somewhat different, but the core concept is the same. The differences are primarily a matter of implementation plus the fact that we can only handle file-associated buffers. Without adding another global variable, would it be reasonable to try to use the GNU Emacs hack to enable font-lock for non-file buffers?
