I'm defining a character set, and I need to draw a reverse video circle.
Unfortunately, to quote the Red Book, "The use of setgray after a
setcachedevice operation within the scope of a BuildChar procedure
is not permitted (an undefined error results)."
Here's what I'm trying to do. Does anyone have an alternate suggestion?
