Has anyone experimented with changing buffer styles for files of
different types?  I tried following the stuff in the FAQ.  When I used
set-font as-is it worked, but when I tried to make my own variant of
goto-style, it didn't do anything.  Here's what I did:

; my own custom styles
(setq browse-style (make-style))
(set-style-foreground browse-style "white")
(set-style-background browse-style "black")
(set-style-font browse-style "6x13")

(defun goto-style (newstyle)
  "Set current buffer to a given font NEWSTYLE."
  (interactive "sNew Style: ")
  (setq buffer-style newstyle)
  (redraw-display))

When I do M-x goto-style browse-style, nothing happens.  I look at the
buffer-style variable, and it is set to browse-style, but no visual
change takes place.  What am I doing wrong?  Also, does anyone have some
examples of changing styles they can show as a guide to doing fancier
things?
