The default global-font-lock value has changed in Emacs 22.X, and it is
now turned *on*. So if you want to turn font-lock off, you will have to
turn it off. This should be as easy as adding the following to your
~/.emacs startup file:
(global-font-lock -1)
But this doesn't start Emacs in `no colors should be used at all' mode.
If you want to do that, you can fire up Emacs with:
emacs --color=no
Then Emacs will only use the usual `bold', `underline' and `reverse
video' attributes for displayed characters.
HTH,
Giorgos
