Help me fix my .emacs for 24.3

Help me fix my .emacs for 24.3

Hi guys,

you'll find below the code I have in my .emacs file to set up custom colors.
It doesn't seem to work anymore since I've upgraded to emacs 24.3.1 (Windows build).
The colors I now see are not the ones I want, I guess the default colors are used (for example, strings appear in a kind of dark purple while I want dark green).
Could anyone tell me what to do to fix my .emacs ?

Pierre


(cond ((fboundp 'global-font-lock-mode)
 ;; Customize face attributes
 (setq font-lock-face-attributes
 (list
 '(font-lock-comment-face "Brown")
 '(font-lock-string-face "DarkGreen")
 '(font-lock-keyword-face "Blue")
 '(font-lock-builtin-face "DarkOrange2")
 '(font-lock-function-name-face "Purple2")
 (list 'font-lock-variable-name-face (cdr (assoc 'foreground-color (frame-parameters))))
 '(font-lock-type-face "Red2")
 '(font-lock-constant-face "DarkBlue")
 '(font-lock-warning-face "OrangeRed")
 ))
 ;; Load the font-lock package
 (require 'font-lock)
 ;; Maximum colors
 (setq font-lock-maximum-decoration t)
 ;; Turn on font-lock in all modes that support it
 (global-font-lock-mode t)
))

Have you tried to set the colours in the customisations section as custom-set-variables? There I have for example:

	'(font-lock-string-face ((t (:foreground "Brown"))))

I think it was set using GNU Emacs' customisation interface.

This variable has been obsolete since Emacs 20, stopped working in Emacs 23 (or maybe even 22.something) and was removed about a year ago for 24.1. See here:

See etc/NEWS.20 in your Emacs installation for the recommended method of configuring faces, or if you prefer to do everything by hand, set-face-attribute might work (but you'll need to make sure the face has already been created before using this).

Thank you for your replies Peter and Jason.

I'm afraid I'll now have to read the manual chapter dealing with faces as the few things I ever knew about them has vanished from my memory a long time ago :)

It appears that it was not completely removed in 24.1 as it was still working for me until 24.2 included.
Not that this observation changes anything to the fact that a rework of my .emacs was long overdue.
