Re: How to *completely* disable font-lock mode in my .emacs?

[Joe Corneli]

   AFAIK, X resources aren't used on a text-terminal.

Hm, well I nevertheless have good results both under X and on a
terminal, and moreover, in the case of a terminal, the background
can be either dark or light background, and Emacs adjusts the
*default* face accordingly.  The font lock setup I use is optimized
for a dark background, including plenty of yellow etc., so I don't
really advise using it on a terminal with a light background unless
you have to.

I should probably have posted this little .emacs snippet too, which
is useful in combination with the .Xdefaults config.  This is only
relevant under X; its purpose is to keep flickering at startup time
down to a minimum.
