In GNU Emacs 23.0.60.31 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.14.4) of 2009-01-31 on escher Let ~/.emacs consist of the following three sexps: (add-hook 'calendar-today-visible-hook 'calendar-mark-today) (setq calendar-mark-diary-entries-flag t) (setq calendar-mark-holidays-flag t) (i) Start Emacs by invoking `emacs', then type `M-x calendar'. => In the Calendar, today's date is marked with `=', diary entries are marked with `+' and holidays are marked with `*'. (ii) Start Emacs by invoking `emacs', type `q' to quit the splash screen, then type `M-x calendar'. => In the Calendar, today's date is marked with the face calendar-today, diary entries are marked with the face diary and holidays are marked with the face holiday. The difference between (i) and (ii) is that the splash screen is in Fundamental mode and in this mode font-lock-mode is nil, which makes the calendar marks use string displays rather than faces, due, I believe, to this change: 2008-04-02 Glenn Morris <[email protected]> * calendar/calendar.el (diary-entry-marker, calendar-today-marker) (calendar-holiday-marker, mark-visible-calendar-date): * calendar/diary-lib.el (fancy-diary-display): Check for font-lock-mode before using faces. This change is justified by the following comment in calendar.el: "These [defcustoms] don't respect changes in font-lock-mode after loading." So maybe having to live with (i) is the lesser evil (the faces can (only) be restored in the same Emacs session by explicitly changing the variables' values in Custom or with setq). Steve Berman
