Defining and using custom faces and keywords

Defining and using custom faces and keywords

[suvayu ali]

Hi,

I wanted to add custom keywords and highlight them with my custom face
on all buffers. So I tried something like this.

;; font-lock customisations
(defface font-lock-global-todo-face
  '((t (:background "royalblue4" :foreground "thistle" :weight bold)))
  "Face for the TODO keyword globally."
  :group 'font-lock-faces)

(add-hook 'find-file-hook
	  (lambda ()
	    (font-lock-add-keywords
	     nil '(("\\<\\(FIXME\\):" 1 font-lock-warning-face prepend)))
	    (font-lock-add-keywords
	     nil '(("\\<\\(TODO\\):" 1 font-lock-global-todo-face prepend))))
	    (font-lock-add-keywords
	     nil '(("\\<\\(NB\\):" 1 font-lock-global-todo-face prepend))))

I was expecting FIXME: to be displayed with font-lock-warning-face in
all buffers and TODO: and NB: to be displayed with
font-lock-global-todo-face. However only FIXME: is displayed as
expected. When I check the value of font-lock-global-todo-face with
customize-face, I see the correct value with the sample text displayed
as I expect. What could be going wrong here? Am I missing any steps in
defining my custom face?

Thanks in advance.
