+If your mode does not use any of the other machinery of Font Lock
+(i.e. it only uses the @code{font-lock-face} property), you can tell
+Emacs not to load all of font-lock.el (unless it's already loaded), by
+setting the variable @code{font-lock-core-only} to non-nil as part of
+the @code{font-lock-defaults} settings.  Here is the canonical way to

+(set (make-local-variable 'font-lock-defaults)
+     '(nil t nil nil nil (font-lock-core-only . t)))
+@end example
