Nonetheless, the behaviour does not change. Either with your patch:
- (font-lock-eval-keywords keywords))
+ (font-lock-eval-keywords (or keywords font-lock-keywords)))
or without, the behaviour is the same. Specifically:
- if I remove the "mode: font-lock" line from the local variables, no
fontification is done
- else, if "mode: font-lock" is there:
+ if I use font-lock-keywords I get the above message
+ if I use font-lock-defaults I get fontification and no messages
