Re: C++ mode.

Look at the font-lock function in the manual. See below for an example
from my .emacs file.

(defun lars-setup-color-faces ()
  (custom-set-faces
   '(font-lock-comment-face             ((t (:foreground "darkblue" :bold nil))) t)
   '(font-lock-string-face              ((t (:foreground "darkgreen"))) t)
   '(font-lock-keyword-face             ((t (:foreground "red" :bold nil))) t)
   '(font-lock-builtin-face             ((t (:foreground "black" :bold nil))) t)
   '(font-lock-function-name-face       ((t (:foreground "black" :bold t))) t)
   '(font-lock-variable-name-face       ((t (:foreground "black"))) t)
   '(font-lock-type-face                ((t (:foreground "red" :bold nil))) t)
   '(font-lock-constant-face            ((t (:foreground "black" :bold t))) t)
   '(font-lock-warning-face             ((t (:foreground "black" :bold t))) t)
   '(font-lock-reference-face           ((t (:foreground "green" :bold t))) t)
   '(font-lock-doc-string-face          ((t (:foreground "blue"))) t)
 
   '(highlight                          ((t (:foreground "cyan" :background "darkblue"))) t)
   '(zmacs-region                       ((t (:foreground "white" :background "darkblue"))) t)
   '(isearch                            ((t (:foreground "white" :background "darkblue"))) t)
 
   '(irchat-my-nick-highlight           ((t (:foreground "yellow" :background "blue" :bold t))) t)
 
   '(dired-face-permissions             ((t (:foreground "white" :background "blue"))) t)
 
   '(gnus-cite-face-1                   ((t (:foreground "green"))) t)
   '(gnus-cite-face-2                   ((t (:foreground "cyan"))) t)
   '(gnus-cite-face-3                   ((t (:foreground "pink"))) t)
   '(gnus-cite-face-4                   ((t (:foreground "red"))) t)))
 

(lars-setup-color-faces)
(setq font-lock-maximum-decoration t)
(global-font-lock-mode t)

According to emacs I have

GNU Emacs 20.7.1 (i386-redhat-linux-gnu, X toolkit) of Fri Mar 16 2001 on

I would like to customise c++ mode so that lines starting std::cerr are
marked in a different red as most of them are for debugging and it
would be nice to be able to spot them easily.  Is this possible?  It
would be acceptable to mark everything in the std namespace in red.

I'm a bit of a newbie with emacs so apologies as I don't know all the
terminology yet!
