I am working on Solaris 9 and using the emacs editor version 21.4. The problem is that when I use the emacs -nw
command and turn the font-lock-mode on, I don't get the syntax highlighting by color like in the XWindow mode. The syntax highlighting is only done by bolding or by background coloring. The list-colors-display
command also gives a blank window. I know that the terminal supports colors because when I use the ls --color
command, the directories and executables are displayed in blue and green. Any idea on how I can get colors for emacs in the nw mode?
