It does work, but only when setting font-lock-support-mode to nil (which makes sense if you consider that the purpose was to avoid performance problems with the eager fontification of large buffers). > If there are no objections, I am going to mark it as deprecated, and > remove it from the manual. Fine by me, tho I agree with Alan that font-lock-support-mode is not obsolete (it's indispensable to debug font-lock problems). Stefan
