    Hmm. Overnight I completely wiped 5.8 from my machine and installed afresh. I just re-ran your sample and got exactly the same results. Seems like there is either a bug or a limitation in Tk 804.027 on Win32 :(

    I wonder if it is a known/documented limitation or just something that hasn't been reported. Where is the best place to ask?

    Anyway, many thanks for the sample* and confirmation. At least I can stop pursuing a lost cause now :)

    *And the latest one.

        Guess what I just turned up here.

        6. Under Windows, -stipple option for canvas and text is apparently not supported at all. RT
