bug#36529: Docs say font-lock-mode should be on by default

[積丹尼 Dan Jacobson]

(info "(emacs) Font Lock") says

   Font Lock mode is enabled by default.

$ emacs -q --no-site-file
C-h v font-lock-mode

font-lock-mode is a variable defined in ‘font-core.el’.
Its value is nil

  Automatically becomes buffer-local when set.

Documentation:
Non-nil if Font-Lock mode is enabled.

emacs-version "26.1"

$ apt-cache policy emacs
emacs:
  Installed: 1:26.1+1-3.2
  Candidate: 1:26.1+1-3.2

P.S.,

That's fine, and isn't a bug.  The buffer where you do this doesn't
support font-lock.

Well do
$ emacs f.pl f.html f.c etc. etc.
They are all black and white by default!

Not here, they aren't.  Does this happen with "emacs -Q"?

$ emacs -q -Q index.html etc.
All just black and white.
Have to do M-x font-lock-mode
so see any colors, here with Debian's 26.1.

Then I suggest that you take this up with the downstream Emacs package
maintainers for Debian, because Emacs built from sources here doesn't
have that problem.

OK. Sending report to Debian.
