That is strange. It works for me and has being working for a long time. For reference, my org-mode version is 8.06 and Emacs version is 24.3.50.2.
Maybe it is something related to you configuration. Try to start Emacs with a different and minimum configuration including setting org-tag-faces and see it that has an effect. If it works, then you will need to bisect your configuration to isolate what makes it stop working. -- Darlan Cavalcante Moreira darc...@gmail.com zelt...@gmail.com writes: > thx again for the answer but it dosent see to work here: > > https://paste.xinu.at/KlvP/ > > this is what i have in my config: > > (setq org-tag-faces '( > ("mru" :inherit org-done :box nil :underline t :height 1.2) > ("Fav" :foreground "blue" :box nil :underline t :height > 1.2))) > > i restarted emacs but still see fav as a regular tag with out a foreground > of blue etc > > any ideas what im doing wrong? > > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > The ATTACH tag is automatically added when I attach a file to a headline > (see Attachments in the org-mode manual [[info:org#Attachments]]).
