I have been using a recent windows version of emacs on my PC mainly for
editing Latex files. I have come to appreciate the syntax highlighting
which makes it much easier to structure the text.
Recently I have downloaded, compiled and installed release emacs 21.4 on a
SUSE 10.0 linux system. Compilation and installation seemed to work ok.
However, I soon noticed that the menus cannot be invoked with the mouse and
my tex files do not show any syntax highlighting after invoking M-x
font-lock-mode except for some characters that are changed to bold typeface.
There is however no colour.
Am I missing something?
Some quick pointers would be appreciated
Cheers
Karl
