Emacs 22 font-lock comment color problem

Emacs 22 font-lock comment color problem

[Fisherss]

Hi all

When I edit C files with emacs 22 in console, I found a problem which
makes me very uncomfortable.  The contents of commented lines are not
full-colored, I mean, only the delimiters, "/*'" and "*/" are red, the
characters between them are still white.

I found that there is a emacs-snapshot patch from debian, it does this
to the ./lisp/font-lock.el file :

   :group 'font-lock-highlighting-faces)

Looks like it has solved this problem for many people, but not for me.
I still cannt get full-colored comment lines.

Anyone any idea for this ?  Is that because of my framebuffer setting
or some other things ?

Thank you.

Just change the color of font-lock-comment-face (and
font-lock-comment-delimiter-face) in your ~/.emacs.

If you do it that way, you have to rebuild Emacs.
