aj> I'm currently uploading new versions of packages xemacs-base and aj> text-modes to ftp.xemacs.org/xemacs/beta/incoming. [...] aj> - Add missing autoload for flyspell (package text-modes) It causes two problems: 1. The variable `global-flyspell-mode' is defined in auto-autoloads.el with `defcustom'. When auto-autoloads.el is loaded, flyspell.el is pulled in as well. Because the definition requires the function `global-flyspell-mode'. After starting up XEmacs with `--vanilla', the buffer " *Message-Log*" shows below: Loading flyspell... Loading cus-face... Loading cus-face...done Loading flyspell...done Loading kana-keyboard... Loading kana-keyboard...done 2. In that case, I cannot modify the foreground color of `font-lock' faces. (require 'font-lock) => font-lock (color-name (face-foreground 'font-lock-keyword-face)) => "red4" (set-face-foreground 'font-lock-keyword-face "blue") => "blue" (color-name (face-foreground 'font-lock-keyword-face)) => "red4" I'm blue... -- ~{I=8T?KC＠~} <yamaoka(a)jpl.org&gt;
