Here, you can just enter whitespace mode, move cursor/point to where space is indicated by the mid dot char, and then either do `describe-char' or use this (defun what-face (pos) (interactive "d") (let((face (or (get-char-property pos 'face) (get-char-property pos 'read-cf-name) ))) (message " Face: %s" (or face "(no face!)")) )) to get the face. Do the same and see if there is a tab face as well! -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
