Hi, Ben changed font-lock.el in the main trunk of CVS nine days ago. It causes a serious problem to write Japanese text using Egg-its package. So I have sent a report with a patch to Ben and xemacs- patches. You may see those articles in the following archives: http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-patches/200109/msg00057.html http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-patches/200109/msg00059.html Unfortunately, I have neither a reply nor a mail to xemacs-cvs list so far. Could anyone help Egg-its users? The same patch follows. I confirmed that it works in the C modes or the Java mode as just as Ben intended. 2001-09-19 Katsumi Yamaoka <yamaoka(a)jpl.org&gt; * font-lock.el (font-lock-after-change-function): Fix. --- font-lock.el~ Tue Sep 18 05:14:05 2001 +++ font-lock.el Wed Sep 19 08:59:25 2001 ＠＠ -1210,7 +1210,7 ＠＠ ;; line of code turns the comment color.) this is a bit of a hack ;; but allows us to use text properties for everything.
