I'm running Emacs compiled from a week old bzr head, emacs-version reports: “GNU Emacs 24.2.50.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) of 2012-08-21 on mpn-glaptop”. I don't think I have any “unusual” packages, but I do have quite a bit of customization, which you might find at . > The unusual thing about font-lock-face is that it only gets applied if > font-lock is enabled; otherwise it's ignored.

I don't think font-lock > usually does that, but perhaps in some situations, it will? Ha! That could be the cause. I've disabled global-font-lock-mode, and the colours appeared. Getting property returns non-nil for 'face and nil for 'font-lock-face. When I enable font-lock-mode the property seem to disappear and disabling font-lock-mode again does not help. -- Best regards, _ _ .o. | Liege of Serenely Enlightened Majesty of o' \,=./ `o ..o | Computer Science, Michał “mina86” Nazarewicz (o o) ooo +------------------ooO--(_)--Ooo--
