When font lock is turned on, application of a text property is seen as a change that causes the text to be re-fontified. So your setting of the text face is almost immediately erased. If you execute your code in a buffer with font-lock turned off your face setting will persist. _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
