   The `defontify' seems to be the ticket to get font-lock to recalc
   its settings and actually reperform the fontification.  My original
   solution used internals from font-lock that were not version
   stable.

Actually, contrary to what I said before, the change I will soon
propose might not automatically take care of thew `font-lock-face'
text property.  I believe that font-lock relies on a major mode that
sets font-lock-face to disable it, if appropriate, in
change-major-mode-hook.  From the docstring:

  Clear out all `font-lock-face' properties in current buffer.
  A major mode that uses `font-lock-face' properties might want to put
  this function onto `change-major-mode-hook'.

Sincerely,

Luc.
