Currently outline faces uses name faces taken for ather purposes than outline
headings.

font-lock-function-name-face))
  "Level 1.")

(defface outline-2
  '((t :inherit font-lock-variable-name-face))
  "Level 2.")

(defface outline-3
  '((t :inherit font-lock-keyword-face))
  "Level 3.")

(defface outline-4
  '((t :inherit font-lock-comment-face))
  "Level 4.")

(defface outline-5
  '((t :inherit font-lock-type-face)
 "Level 5.")

(defface outline-6
  '((t :inherit font-lock-constant-face))
  "Level 6.")

(defface outline-7
  '((t :inherit font-lock-builtin-face))
  "Level 7.")

(defface outline-8
  '((t :inherit font-lock-string-face))
  "Level 8.")

It would be appreciated that outline faces have their own faces rather than inheriting
faces for faces assigned to functions, keywords, comments, etc...

Ludvig

They are their own faces -- and inherit from common font-lock faces.  We
use this pattern all over Emacs to define faces, and it allows us to (by
default) have a smaller number of colour combinations to define.

If users want to change the outline faces, they can do so.  It's perhaps
slightly surprising that changing the font-lock faces also results in
changing the outline faces, but I think we can live with that.

Closing.
