facemenu-add-face-function is a variable defined in 
`facemenu.el'.
Its value is nil
Local in buffer nperf.tex; global value is nil

Documentation:
Function called at beginning of text to change or nil.
This function is passed the FACE to set and END of text to 
change, and must
return a string which is inserted.  It may set 
`facemenu-end-add-face'.

You can customize this variable.
