I was attempting to install ruby support into my emacs installation by
following the directions at the RubyGarden. When I load a ruby file,
Emacs switches to Ruby mode but doesn't do syntax highlighting. Does
anybody have any insight? Here is the relevant portion of my .emacs
file:
(autoload 'ruby-mode "ruby-mode"
"Mode for editing ruby source files")
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.rb\\'" . ruby-mode))
(add-hook 'ruby-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock) ;; <- Is supposed to
enable font lock.

Perhaps you need to turn syntax highlighting on in general:
