@item header-line
Similar to @code{mode-line} for a window's header line. Most modes
don't use the header line, but the Info mode does.
+@item vertical-border
+This face is used for the vertical divider between windows on
+character terminals. By default this face inherits from the
+@code{mode-line-inactive} face.
@item minibuffer-prompt
This face is used for the prompt strings displayed in the minibuffer.
@item highlight
This face is used for highlighting portions of text, in various modes.
For example, mouse-sensitive text is highlighted using this face.
+@item mode-line-highlight
+Like @code{highlight}, but used for portions of text on mode lines.
@item isearch
This face is used for highlighting Isearch matches.
@item lazy-highlight
Whitespace}.
@item variable-pitch
The basic variable-pitch face.
+@item shadow
+The basic face for making the text less noticeable than the surrounding
+ordinary text. Usually this is achieved by using shades of grey in
+contrast with either black or white default foreground color.
@end table
@cindex @code{region} face

- One easy way to use faces is to turn on Font Lock mode. This minor
-mode, which is always local to a particular buffer, arranges to
-choose faces according to the syntax of the text you are editing. It
-can recognize comments and strings in most languages; in several
-languages, it can also recognize and properly highlight various other
-important constructs. @xref{Font Lock}, for more information about
-Font Lock mode and syntactic highlighting.

You can print out the buffer with the highlighting that appears
on your screen using the command @code{ps-print-buffer-with-faces}.
@findex font-lock-mode
@findex turn-on-font-lock
- The command @kbd{M-x font-lock-mode} turns Font Lock mode on or off
-according to the argument, and toggles the mode when it has no argument.
-The function @code{turn-on-font-lock} unconditionally enables Font Lock
-mode. This is useful in mode-hook functions. For example, to enable
-Font Lock mode whenever you edit a C file, you can do this:
