Re: change faces interactively

Sorry for my poor explanation.
What I want is an interactive function that turns on/off face changes by
command.

Say, a buffer is in "my-mode".  The above (define-generic-mode ... ) will
AUTOMATICALLY apply the face definitions to all characters as soon as the
buffer is opened (assuming the mode definition recognizes its file
extension).
I would rather develop a function that applies the faces AT WILL even after
the buffer is opened IN THAT MODE.
For example, a buffer is in "my-mode" but none of the words in that buffer
is applied with any faces.
Now I will implement a function, (defun my-mode-face-1 ()
 (interactive)...), then a certain set of words in that buffer is
bold-faced.  After that, I will implement another function, (defun
my-mode-face-2 () (interactive) ...), then another set of the words in that
buffer is italic-faced. And so on...

If it does not make sense, please ask me again.  I appreciate it.
