[mgp-users 01343] Re: How can I obtain black foreground and white background

[Carl-Olof Almbladh <Carl-Olof.Almbladh@teorfys.lu.se>]

Dear all,
In response to Nishid's reply I post a .mgp file that
always gives white foreground irrespective of any %fore
commands.

It is obtained by editing "sample.mgp" in distribution 
magicpoint-1.10a. No matter how I do it, foreground is white
meaining that the text is invisible. I have made a temporary
workaround by generating _all_ text with latex - then the
%fore command is honored by mgp
