Hi,
Is there an easy way to add new faces to org-agenda?
I would like to add a face for events including the text "meeting" or
"birthday" and other phrases. I'd also like to create a special face for
event subjects, such as Diary, life, or work (the first column in agenda).
It'd also be nice to be able to do faces based on tags.
Is this possible without a lot of hacking?
Thanks,
Scott

There is special way of doing this. In particular, the agenda does
*not* use font-lock, it sets its own faces.
However, there is a hook you can use, and the code to write for it
is relatuvely simple. For example:
(add-hook 'org-finalize-agenda-hook
(lambda ()
(save-excursion
(goto-char (point-min))
(while (re-search-forward "\\<birthday\\> " nil t)
(add-text-properties (match-beginning 0) (match-end 0)
'(face secondary-selection)))
(goto-char (point-min))
(while (re-search-forward "\\<meeting\\> " nil t)
(add-text-properties (match-beginning 0) (match-end 0)
'(face bold))))))

Thanks Carsten!
Do you know how to select the whole line instead of just the word?
Also, do you know where I can find more information about the syntax to use
in setting colors in the '(face ) area?
Is there an easy way to not interfere with the other highlighting that's
going to happen? I'd like to highlight stuff in work.org with a different
color, say orange, but I think I'd like TODO to stay red and Scheduled to
stay green but change rest of headline color and the work: column. If
there's a way to do this easily I'd also like to use it when defining
special highlights for tags.
Thanks again,
Scott

Well, first you need to lear about regular expressions.
For example to match a line containing the word birthday
you would do
"^.*\\<birthday\\>.*
To change only part of a line, leave the rest, you can use
groups. For example, to change everyting in a line except
the word TODO you would match it like
"\\(^.*\\)\\<TODO\\>\\(.*\\)"
and then use `add-text-properties' twice, first to add the face
property from (match-beginning 1) to (match-end 1), and then
from (match-beginning 2) to (match-end 2).
If you want to change the faces used by Org-mode in normal .org
files, try
M-x customize-group RET org-faces RET
there you can change all the standard faces used.
If you want to add new stuff to fontification in org-mode,
take a look at the function `font-lock-add-keywords'.
There are quite a few faces already defined in Emacs that you can
use, or you can define your own.
Well, you are entering the world of Emacs hacking here, and the only
way you will get further is by learning about text properties,
regular expressons etc in the Emacs manual and in the Emacs lisp manual.
