Thanks for your reply. as I mentioned previously, I believe font-locking in
latex in xemacs was enabled by default, because I believe I used to see that
behaviour without specifically requiring font-latex, or without doing anything
with Customization menus. Don't know if it's necessary to add to menu.
Generally, is it discouraged to use both emacs and xemacs as the same user on
the same machine? emacs from console or from remote (ssh) connection, otherwise
xemacs. Also, one more question, is it discouraged to use xemacs "internal"
package management functions? does this conflict with apt? what is the
recommended approach. Thanks,
Giulio Morgan
