* Font Lock displays portions of the bufefr in
incorrect faces.

By far the most frequent cause of this is a
parenthesis `(' or a brace
`{' in column zero.  Font Lock assumes that such a
paren is outside of
any comment or string.  This is of course not true in
general, but the
vast majority of well-formatted program source files
don't have such
parens, and therefore this assumption is used to allow
optimizations
in Font Lock's syntactical analysis.  These
optimizations avoid some
patological cases where jit-lock, the Just-in-Time
fontification
introduced with Emacs 21.1, could significantly slow
down scrolling
through the buffer, especially scrolling backwards,
and also jumping
to the end of a very large buffer.

If you don't use large buffers, or have a very fast
machine which
makes the delays insignificant, you can avoid the
incorrect
fontification by setting the variable
`font-lock-beginning-of-syntax-function' to a nil
value.  (This must
be done _after_ turning on Font Lock.)
