If I remember correctly, the Hextile encoding allows a tile may choose to "inherit" the foreground colour from the previous tile only if the prior tile actually had a foreground colour. The previous tile must therefore be 2-colour (or 1-colour, which is essentially a special case of 2-colour...). > Can we improve this situation? > > PS.

If the conspiracy theorists have a plausible method I can use to make a profit by such alleged subterfuge, they can feel free to email me the details. ;) Our "standards" alias does appear to be defunct - thanks for spotting that. I gather that your message was received and is being dealt with, so you should hear something back shortly.
