I don't see how that applies here. You can set a property on a symbol to make it safe in some situations. This would normally be done via a patch to Emacs, but one can also do it temporarily in .emacs or whatever. In this case though, what symbol would you use? AFAIK you have to call font-lock-add-keywords to change font-locking. There is no local variable you can set. Tom
