Types 1's use the Non-Zero Winding Rule.

In a nutshell, start with a count of zero, and outside the path.
Now draw a invisable line through the path, and increment your count
every time you cross a path outline that is traveling one direction,
and decrement the count every time you cross a path that travels
the other direction. Whenever the count is non-zero, you are inside
the path, therefore it is filled.

Hope that helps...
