Subject: Re: ruby-mode.el - font lock not working?

Hi!

Some remarks and questions:

What about "(add-hook 'ruby-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)"?

'(font-lock-mode 1)' suggests that the argument is a numerical one
while it actually is a logical one. It's only a question of style but
shouldn't one rather use '(font-lock-mode t)'?

Putting '(global-font-lock-mode t)' into $HOME/.emacs may also be a
good idea.

Does '(setq font-lock-maximum-decoration t)' have any effect in
ruby-mode (I don't have ruby-mode installed here so I cannot check)?
