I am trying to set the foreground color for first line in my buffer which has `global-font-lock` ON. Buffer contents - (ignore) (add-text-properties 1 8 '(:foreground "red")) ;;since add-text-properties didn't work, i tried with add-face-text-property (add-face-text-property 1 8 '(:foreground "red")) When i do `eval-buffer`, i like to see the first line, `(ignore)` made red. But it is not so. I referred [here][1] to know the function, `add-text-properties` doesn't work when font-lock mode is ON. Is there a way one can change the properties for text that lies between a start and end point?
