Try adding the following to your .emacs: (setq font-lock-use-default-fonts t) (setq font-lock-use-default-colors t) (setq font-lock-maximum-decoration t) That tells it to use all the decorations it can, with the default colors and fonts. This should do declarations, preprocessor commands, comments, strings, and C keywords. You can also define your own patterns to hilight, but you'll have to read font-lock.el for more on that :). k> Mybe I should run emacs? what do I gain lose on runing xemacs. Advantages of XEmacs over GNU Emacs: * Nicer looking - better mode line, toolbar, glyphs, xpm/jpeg/gif support, etc. * more consistent internals - not a noticable thing, but the code is cleaner. * more elisp packages included by default * (IMHO) better X interface, especially WRT info &c. * Hyper apropos - check it out :) Advantages of GNU Emacs over XEmacs: * Smaller disk requirement * Smaller memory footprint * more frequent releases - may be an advantage to some The way I see it, XEmacs is a better product, but if disk and memory usage is a concern, go with the GNU version. -Larry -- Larry Daffner | Linux: Unleash the workstation in your PC!
