Try adding the following to your .emacs:
(setq font-lock-use-default-fonts t)
(setq font-lock-use-default-colors t)
(setq font-lock-maximum-decoration t)
That tells it to use all the decorations it can, with the default
colors and fonts. This should do declarations, preprocessor commands,
comments, strings, and C keywords. You can also define your own
patterns to hilight, but you'll have to read font-lock.el for more on
that :).

Advantages of XEmacs over GNU Emacs:
* Nicer looking - better mode line, toolbar, glyphs, xpm/jpeg/gif
support, etc.
* more consistent internals - not a noticable thing, but the code is
cleaner.
* more elisp packages included by default
* (IMHO) better X interface, especially WRT info &c.
* Hyper apropos - check it out :)
Advantages of GNU Emacs over XEmacs:
* Smaller disk requirement
* Smaller memory footprint
* more frequent releases - may be an advantage to some
The way I see it, XEmacs is a better product, but if disk and memory
usage is a concern, go with the GNU version.
