color not showing in enriched.txt example file for emacs 24.5, debian 9

color not showing in enriched.txt example file for emacs 24.5, debian 9

[Dan Hitt]

Hi,

I'm using emacs 24.5 on debian 9.

The data-directory is /usr/share/emacs/24.5/etc

In that directory there's an example enriched.txt file.

However, when i visit the file, no color is showing.  Bold face and
italics are showing.

I started emacs with 'emacs -q'  to avoid using my startup.

Note that my emacs certainly doesn't have trouble showing color in font-lock.

TIA for any info on how to get the colors to show.

Do you see any error messages in the *Messages* buffer?

Ah, thanks Eli, a very good point!

And yes i do see error messages, and yes they look quite relevant, or
at least most of them do:

Extra closing annotation (indent) in file
Unknown annotations: (x-color x-color x-color x-bg-color x-bg-color
x-color x-bg-color x-color x-bg-color x-color x-bg-color x-color
x-bg-color x-color x-bg-color x-color x-bg-color x-color x-bg-color
x-color x-bg-color x-color x-bg-color x-color x-color x-color x-color
x-color x-color x-color x-bg-color x-bg-color x-color x-bg-color
x-color x-bg-color x-color x-bg-color x-color x-bg-color x-color)
Indenting...

Don't know about the indentation, but having all this color stuff
unknown sounds like a problem . . . .

Chrystal ball says that Debian removed some of the functionality from
enriched.el as part of the "enriched mode security vulnerability"
panic circa Emacs 25.3 release.  Looks like they removed the color
support as well, for a good measure.

IOW, I think you should complain to Debian.  Emacs 24.5 that I built
myself has no problems with colors in enriched.txt.

The color works fine here in Emacs 24.5 on macOS, but this line

> Extra closing annotation (indent) in file

sticks out a bit as another bug.  It doesn't show when opening the
sample enriched text file in Emacs 24.3, but it does in Emacs 24.4.
