Start up emacs -q -no-site-file and then M-x load-library font-lock.
Make sure the default font has an italic form.

Put the following in a C-mode buffer:-

----------------------------------------------------------------------

/*
   hello.c:  The traditional first C program.
*/

#include <stdio.h>

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
  printf ("Hello world!\n");
}

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Position the cursor at the start of the second line and eval the
following expression:-

	(font-lock-fontify-region (point) (point-max))

The whole region gets fontified in the COMMENT face (italics).

This is because when font-lock-fontify-region gets called within a
comment it searches for (regexp-quote comment-end) to find the end of
the comment.  This is wrong, because in c-mode comment-end is " */"
i.e. it has a leading space.

I guess the way to fix this is to find the end of the comment by
moving back to the beginning and then doing (forward-comment 1) which
is how font-lock-fontify-region does it later on.
