Right; all the Emacs and XEmacs users I personally know have enabled font-lock globally. > I'm a counter-example, possibly because at root I'm a Henry Ford > acolyte: "You can have your [text] in any color you want, as long as > it's black."

But regardless, in the new implementation it's easy to disable fontification; just (add-hook 'occur-mode-hook 'font-lock-mode) Or (add-hook 'occur-mode-hook (lambda () (font-lock-mode 0)) > To be honest, my impression is that everybody likes font lock (except > maybe Jerry Pournelle), it's just that some people want it sometimes, > and some people want it always. Using font-lock for all modes where possible makes things easier for both groups of people. Previously, you would have to hunt down a `foo-mode-face' variable, or a `foo-mode-enable-fontification', etc.
