If you look at >cperl-mode.el, you will see the faces used there. The default values >are defined in font-lock.el. You're right. But why doesn't "perl-mode" force "font-lock-mode"? OTOH it does on some other installations I use, emacs and xemacs. What's the common/best wy to achieve this for all programming modes? I saw a hint in "font-lock-mode" which is in fact a list of modes implying it - that might be easier since I don't have to edit all modes. Or should I do it in .emacs? And the same question for the text modes: what's the best way to force "auto-fill-mode" or even "maniac-mode" ;) for text, i.e. 2fundamental-mode"? Sorry to bother you - I've been a happy emacs user for many years but now it's time to get in too deep :) ... and to get rid of all the manual actions.
