Actually it is a feature. Patterns are uncoloured now (see PDF reference for Uncolored tiling patterns) to allow the application of symbol-color command on patterns. Now you need to define just the shape of all symbols in Metapost and color of any symbol in layout, which is much more flexible. It wouldn't work for patterns consisting of more than one colour, but nobody has complained so far. > I initially suspected that the change from Metapost 0.641 to 1.201 > bundled with the Windows install of Therion might be to blame as I There is some influence of Metapost version, though. Version older than 1.000 doesn't (easily) support passing the colour information for patterns so they are all rendered black regardless of symbol-color setting. Martin
