Hmm. I use font-lock, but I use xemacs (21.4). Maybe that's the cause of the difference.
IIRC XEmacs's support for syntax-table text-properties (and more specifically for font-lock-syntactic-keywords) has been generally fairly late. I'd expect it to be fully working by now, but maybe only in 21.5.
Try Emacs ;-)
I switched from emacs to xemacs because of gnuserv/gnuclient. As I understand it, please correct me, but with xemacs "gnuclient" one can attach a "frame" of a server xemacs process to the current terminal. Emacs only supports "emacsclient" which allows you to open a file in a remote server process, but not on the terminal which you run "emacsclient" from, so it's not as useful. The difference means that xemacs can simulate a fast-loading terminal editor, whereas emacs cannot. There are other problems with xemacs - the default syntax-coloring colors are all mapped to "white" on the terminal, for instance, and one has to manually reassign them to standard terminal colors in order to get syntax-coloring to work. I would switch back to emacs if it were not for the above difference. Frederik -- http://ofb.net/~frederik/
