Sorry for the crosspost ] I don't really understand how to identify what faces are in use in a given buffer. I use color-theme (gnome2) which works fine under X but when I am using font locking in emacs 21 in an xterm, I occasionally run into problems. Case in point: In gnus article mode, the face of quoted messages (the cited text from previous posts that the article is following-up to) is dark blue and hard to read against my black background xterm. I would like to know which face I need to set so that the color is more to my liking. I tried apropos to see if there was a gnus-article-cited-face or something like that, but didn't find it. What would be really helpful, is if I could execute some function and see what variable (symbol?) controlled the face at point. Then I could apply a mode-hook to set that face to my heart's desires. Ie, how do I find out what face is responsible for a given segment of text in a given mode? John Hunter Oort Gnus v0.05 GNU Emacs 21.2.1
