I am finding the use of font-lock too complicated. When I make a new buffer and apply `text-mode` or `org-mode`, `font-lock` in enabled and can print text with colour using `font-lock-face`.
But when I do not set the mode of the buffer, I get `fundamental-mode` automatically. What should I use to print in a new buffer?
Cannot really understand what `font-lock` is about. Does it have to be enabled to print in colour?

I don't know what you mean by "print".

I suggest you describe in more detail what it is you're trying to do and
the specific problem you encounter when you do it.
