Ah.
emacs doesn't indicate if the font-lock minor mode is enabled;
Xemacs does.

Use
M-x font-lock-mode
as this enables fontifcation for all edits (until it is toggle off
by repeating M-x font-lock-mode)

M-x font-lock-fontify-buffer
does a one-off fontification - it is only useful if fontify gets confused,
which is normally caused by editing the start marker of a multi-line
block of text (a comment, string etc).

HTH,
