I think you want to call the function, so either do so: (turn-on-font-lock) or add it as a separate hook: (add-hook 'lisp-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock) > ;; I have tried both of the lines below, with no good effect > (put 'lisp-mode 'font-lock-defaults '(lisp-font-lock-keywords-tj)) > ;(cons font-lock-defaults lisp-font-lock-keywords-tj) I don't see anything in the documentation that suggests that the font-lock-defaults property of a major-mode has any effect. I think you want: (set (make-local-variable 'font-lock-defaults) lisp-font-lock-keywords-tj) or perhaps: (set (make-local-variable 'font-lock-defaults) (append font-lock-defaults lisp-font-lock-keywords-tj)) > (message "lisp-mode++ loaded"))) -- Kevin Rodgers
