This should work. I adapted it from a function in emacspeak and have tested it several times. (defun rdc-show-face-at-point () "Show value of property faceat point." (interactive ) (let ((f (get-text-property (point) 'face)) (o (delq nil (mapcar #'(lambda (overlay) (overlay-get overlay 'face)) (overlays-at (point)))))) (message "Face %s" f (if o o " ")))) There might be a better way to do it or there might be a way built into emacs. rdc -- Robert D.
