The same method as for other modes; enable it globally. The incantation
you're looking for is probably "(setq global-font-lock-mode t)".
I think john might be asking a different question. Or if he isn't
asking a different question I will:
I've noticed that several functions (pcl-cvs log, pcl-cvs diff) have
done everything necessary for font locking, except enable it. I think
font locking should just come on in all buffers. So, I was going to
send in some patches. But first.
What is the proper way to check if font-lock is enabled, and if
enabled globally to make sure that font locking is enabled for that mode.

For example, is this the right patch for cvs-log.el
