Thank you very much for this discussion.  I just saw it and read it
carefully because that "Fontifying..." behavior has been annoying me
for some time too.

After you tracked it down to html-helper-mode I looked at my own too.
I am using Debian Sid's html-helper-mode version 3.0.4kilo which
appears to be the latest available.  The web site

  http://www.nongnu.org/baol-hth/index.html

lists 3.0.4jolly as the latest stable with a beta available.  I
checked both kilo and joly versions and both have that annoying
"Fontifying..." behavior.  But now with your help I know what I need
to do to fix the problem.

I decided to post this message just to get into the archive
information about Debian's package.  Also your phrase "use an old
version of" led me to believe that a newer fixed version was
available.  But as far as I can tell there isn't a fixed upstream
version available.  Oh well.
