Re: global font-lock?

Matt> This is a GNU Emacs thing. The XEmacs equivalent seems to be Matt> font-lock-auto-fontify, which by default is t. XEmacs doesn't have an equivalent. Presumably that's an oversight. Before you violate the Global Variable Antiproliferation Treaty by adding yet another, please consider whether maybe the right interface isn't to shit-can the "this-mode-font-lock-enabled" code in favor of (set-specifier enable-font-lock t (current-buffer)) etc. Then to get the effect you want, you do (set-specifier enable-font-lock t 'global) Unfortunately specifiers do not support modes as locales, but it should be possible to hack around that by testing whether the specifier's value is correct in the current buffer at mode startup, and if not setting the specifier in that buffer. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Don't ask how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
