The default global-font-lock value has changed in Emacs 22.X, and it is now turned *on*. So if you want to turn font-lock off, you will have to turn it off. This should be as easy as adding the following to your ~/.emacs startup file: (global-font-lock -1) But this doesn't start Emacs in `no colors should be used at all' mode. If you want to do that, you can fire up Emacs with: emacs --color=no Then Emacs will only use the usual `bold', `underline' and `reverse video' attributes for displayed characters.
