Questions tagged [emacs-faces]

A face in GNU Emacs is a text style.

A face can have various attributes, such as foreground and background colors, font, height, and weight. Faces are applied as text properties to characters in a string or buffer, or as overlay properties to buffer positions. Face attribute values can be inherited from one or more faces by another face.
