Misc Upgrade Issues

I'm back with a few more observations/comments about my transition from 20.4 to 21.0. Here goes: 1. mic-paren no longer activates itself on load. This is fine except there is no documentation for this in the NEWS file. Are there any other modes that no longer auto-activate themselves? 2. customize-changed-options claims that: "No user options have changed defaults in recent Emacs versions" no matter what old version of XEmacs is specified. 3. font-lock-fontify-buffer acts very differently on a color TTY in 21.0 than it did in 20.4. In a tty, run the following for both 20.4 and 21.0: xemacs -vanilla some-lisp-file M-x font-lock-fontify-buffer The highlighting will be very different between 20.4 and 21.0: in 20.4, comments were in red, strings were in green, function names were in blue. In 21.0, the only fontification I observe is that keywords are in cyan. Upon further investigation, this seems to be caused by forms of the following type in font-lock.el: (defface font-lock-keyword-face '((((class color) (background dark)) (:foreground "cyan")) (((class color) (background light)) (:foreground "red4")) (((class grayscale) (background light)) (:foreground "LightGray" :bold t)) (((class grayscale) (background dark)) (:foreground "DimGray" :bold t)) (t (:bold t))) "Font Lock mode face used to highlight keywords." :group 'font-lock-faces) I believe this code is thinks that my tty has a dark background; how do I convince this code that my tty has a light background? These are minor nits which we should probably document so they don't bite our dedicated audience when they upgrade. vin
