syntax highlighting for comments

Hi All,

I'm using emacs to edit journal text files *.jou, for which commented
lines
start with the character "/".

I apply the comment syntax for the "*.jou" files by adding to
the .emacs file
the lines

(add-hook 'find-file-hooks
 (lambda ()
  (when (string-match "\\.jou$" (buffer-file-name))
   (setq comment-start "/")
  )
 )
)

Now I would also like to turn the text of the commented lines into
red, and for this
I added the line

(font-lock-add-keywords nil '("\\(/.*\\)$" (1 font-lock-comment-
face)))

which unfortunately doesn’t work.

Does anybody know where the mistake is?
Many thanks

gento
