In some modes (elisp and mail are two I've tested) this form simply
returns `t', there's no change to the display, and apparently no
change to the buffer.
(set-text-properties (line-beginning-position)
(line-end-position)
'(face font-lock-keyword-face)
(current-buffer))
^ ^
2 1
C-x C-e
(get-text-property
(point) 'face)
;=> nil
Is there a way to assert that I really want to set the face,
regardless of the mode the buffer happens to be in (though it seems to
be a bit of a long-shot)? Or must I switch to fundamental mode to set
the face? (Note: in CVS emacs of 2005-05-10, switching *back* to
fundamental mode didn't work, but with today's version emacs, that at
least works.)
