The way I see it you have to remove AUCTeX fontification for "footnote"
before adding your own rule. Overall, something like this seems to work
in my brief testing:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defface my-font-latex-footnote-face
'((t :foreground "DarkOliveGreen4" :height 0.9))
"Face used for footnotes."
:group 'font-latex-highlighting-faces)
(setq font-latex-user-keyword-classes
'(("my-footnote" (("footnote" "{"))
my-font-latex-footnote-face command)))
;; ^ Quote removed
;; Added as described in AUCTeX manual:
(with-eval-after-load 'font-latex
(setq-default
font-latex-match-reference-keywords-local
(remove (assoc-string "footnote"
font-latex-match-reference-keywords-local)
font-latex-match-reference-keywords-local)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I also removed a ' in the (setq font-latex-user-keyword-classes form, I
think it is not needed. Do you want to try the above at your end?
Best, Arash
