I searched and didn't find any working solution, so here I am. Problem. Override a face attribute that is defined in an inherited face. For example, open up a new buffer in the fundamental mode and evaulate the following experssion: (insert (propertize "hello" 'face '(:foreground "red" :inherit (:foreground "orange")))) I expect the word 'hello' to be red, but instead, it is orange. So two questions: 1. Am I right to expect the text to be red? 2. How to achieve this? Thanks in advance! -- Cheers, Boris
