Re: no color syntax highlighting in emacs over SSH

[DeeplyPipelined]

Yes, font locking is turned on because I can see formatted fonts in emacs
(bold, underline), but no color. Also, I am able to get color when I use
emacs in an X window over ssh (using ssh -X), but I am not able to get
coloration when I use emacs in  the non-X (TTY) mode.
