I want to create areas with transparent elements on a coloured
background. "eofill" is working exactly as expected within the
"35mmFilmFrame" procedure, but it isn't within the "Logo" procedure -- I
simply get coloured text on a transparent background instead of the
other way round.

There is _no_ difference whether "true" or "false" is used as the second
parameter for the "charpath" command. What am I doing wrong? (Adobe
