Greetings everybody,

On "GNU Emacs 24.2.1 (i486-slackware-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.10) of
2012-08-31 on hive" using font-lock-mode it conjunction with lisp mode
(and Common Lisp code): If font-lock-doc-face != font-lock-string-face
docstrings are marked up inconsistently. E.g. DEFUN's docstrings use the
first face, but DEVAR docstrings use the latter face.

Cheers,
max

Please give a complete example starting from emacs -Q.
I cannot reproduce this with:

emacs-24.2 -Q foo.el

where foo.el has contents:

(defun func () "function doc" t)
(defvar var "blah" "var doc")

Both doc-strings are in font-lock-doc-face.

Otherwise when the person you are replying to puts the bug number in
by hand, they might get the wrong one, like I did. Sigh.

Surely this defun is missing a name?
