  :-) I think someone is having fun with Kirill
      (I use both vim and emacs)
 
   Kirill, I recommend that you do an appropos search on 
   "font" "font-lock", etc. As in C-h, a, "font-lock".

   More advanced users can tell you what file extensions
   that emacs "knows about automatically", in my case:
   here is an example from my .emacs file:

   ;; python mode ===================================================
   (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.py\\'" . python-mode))
   (autoload 'python-mode "python-mode" "Turn on Python mode" t)
   (add-hook 'python-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)

   ;; and of course that is for python.
   ;; similarly, for javascript and rebol:

   ;; javascript mode
   (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.js\\'" . javascript-mode))
   (autoload 'javascript-mode "javascript-mode" "Turn on Javascript mode" t)
   (add-hook 'javascript-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)

   ;; rebol mode ====================================================
   (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.r\\'" . rebol-mode))
   (autoload 'rebol-mode "rebol-mode" "Turn on REBOL mode" t)
   (add-hook 'rebol-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)

   the 'add-hook form tells emacs what functions to add to which
   mode. In these cases, you see it used for each mode to add
   'turn-on-font-lock.

   Try C-h, f "turn-on-font-lock"

   I hope this gets you started.
   cheers
   tim

Everythink ok with fontlocking, by keywords highlighting I didn't mean the 
syntax highlighting. It's that emacs does by default.
I meant that keywords (FIXME, TODO) should be highlighted wherever they occur,
I'd like to use them in my code in comments representing the places in code 
that need to be modified in future.

Just found such solution:

(setq keyword-highlight-modes 
      '(php-mode java-mode c-mode c++-mode emacs-lisp-mode scheme-mode))

(make-face 'font-lock-fixme-face)
(make-face 'font-lock-todo-face)

(mapc (lambda (mode)
        (font-lock-add-keywords
         mode
         '(("\\<\\(FIXME\\)" 1 'font-lock-fixme-face t))))
      keyword-highlight-modes)

(mapc (lambda (mode)
        (font-lock-add-keywords
         mode
         '(("\\<\\(TODO\\)" 1 'font-lock-todo-face t))))
      keyword-highlight-modes)

(modify-face 'font-lock-fixme-face "black" "yellow" nil t nil t nil nil) 
(modify-face 'font-lock-todo-face  "black" "yellow" nil t nil nil nil nil)

With M-x hi-lock-mode.  Having done this in a buffer, do

C-x w h \<FIXME\> <ret> hi-yellow

.  To save these settings in your file, do C-x w b.
