Initially I used my old .emacs file and all works greatly. Recently, fiddling with *Customize* I discovered the following strange behaviour: When you set the value of your default face using *Customize* you automatically lose all the settings of the font-lock faces. More specifically, the font-lock faces have their default value no matter what is set in your .emacs file. I tried different ways of configuring the faces, but whenever the default face is within `custom-set-faces' you get this abnormal behaviour. Of course you can set the default face using `default-frame-alist' and/or `initial-frame-alist' as I actually have always done and all will be OK (if you comment out the line containing the default face within `custom-set-faces'), but I think this situation is quite confusing for the user and I can't understand why emacs work this way. Could anyone illuminate me? Regards, luis -- Luis Octavio Silva P. St. Petersburg State University. 66/3 Botanicheskaya St., Apt.119/2 Stary Peterhof St. Petersburg, Russia.
