I need a little help here, I'm not getting how to do it:

(defface fluca1978-programming-fixme-face
  '((t (:inherit font-lock-warning-face)))
  "Face used to emphasize fixme words" )

(defun fluca1978/fontify-fixme ()
  (font-lock-add-keywords
   nil '(("\\<\\(FIX\\|TODO\\|FIXME\\|HACK\\|REFACTOR\\|XXX\\)[ \t\s\n:]*"
          1 fluca1978-programming-fixme-face t))))

The result is that nothing is emphasized. Moreover if I write, for
instance, FIXME (without the colon) I get the following words
un-fontified, as if the regular expression was wrong. What am I
missing?

Thanks,
Luca
