It's not a question of preference. I literally cannot discern the characters on the screen when font lock is on. Some day, I may well try to set up colors that work. But that's a very slow process for me. It took me several days to do it via X defaults the last time I tried. For now, I just want my screen visible again. And font-lock mode appears to be the culprit. If color customization were easy, wouldn't there be a functional (global-font-lock-mode 0)? --rich
