A long time ago, I found this is dejanews or reading one of the emacs
groups.  Put it in your .emacs, put your cusor where you care about,
and it will tell you want you want :)


;; Useful Function
(defun describe-face-at-point ()
  "Give the name of the faces at point."
  (interactive)
  (message (prin1-to-string (extent-face (extent-at (point) 
						    (current-buffer) 
						    'face)))))

them all sorted out once and for all?!
