How to I turn off the colors in emacs?
FreeBSD 7.0 with package emacs-22.1_2 Attempt to edit a C file and emacs goes into some colorized mode. Of course it chooses colors that are unreadable. How do I turn OFF the colors and get simple black and white? (ASCII mode, not X11) The man page mentions command line options for foreground and background colors, but these aren't mapped correctly, and don't fix the problem anyway. The builtin info isn't readable because it is in color. Haven't found anything useful with google. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Of course it chooses colors that are unreadable. How do I turn OFF the colors and get simple black and white? (ASCII mode, not X11) The default global-font-lock value has changed in Emacs 22.X, and it is now turned *on*. So if you want to turn font-lock off, you will have to turn it off. This should be as easy as adding the following to your ~/.emacs startup file: (global-font-lock -1) But this doesn't start Emacs in `no colors should be used at all' mode. If you want to do that, you can fire up Emacs with: emacs --color=no Then Emacs will only use the usual `bold', `underline' and `reverse video' attributes for displayed characters.
