Yes, sorry, I didn't test the code I posted, I just extracted the
relevant looking parts from my init files and accidentally included my
bind-hook macro. Here is a tested version

;; turn on font lock with maximum decoration
(global-font-lock-mode t)
(setq font-lock-maximum-decoration t)

(require 'font-lock)

;; create a face for function calls
(defface font-lock-function-call-face
  '((t (:foreground "DarkBlue")))
  "Font Lock mode face used to highlight function calls."
  :group 'font-lock-highlighting-faces)
(defvar font-lock-function-call-face 'font-lock-function-call-face)

;; add it to the font lock tables
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (font-lock-add-keywords
             nil
             '(("\\<\\(\\sw+\\) ?(" 1 font-lock-function-call-face)) t)))
