1. When I use ksh-mode in XEmacs 20.4, both types of strings are displayed in font-lock-string-face: echo 'This is comment #1' echo "This is comment #2" However, in XEmacs 21.x, only the first string is using that face. 2. When I use the little hack (attached below) to get the face of the 2nd string I get an error: 'wrong type argument: extentp, nil'. - Can anyone explain problem #1? - Can anyone suggest a function to display the face at point which does not fail when there is no extent (I hope I got this right) Thanks. ;; Subject: Re: What face is `print` in cperl mode? ;; From: Sebastian Kaps <toyland(a)sauerland.de&gt; ;; To: xemacs(a)xemacs.org ;; Date: 8 Jan 1998 19:13:28 +0100 (defun SK::describe-face-at-point () "Give the name of the faces at point."
