I actually did that, in fact. I was careful to make the black outline using
the solid rectangle character (as opposed to a space) with black FG and black
BG. But just because I drew it that way doesn't mean PabloDraw output it that
way. I know there are other issues with the way PD outputs BIN files, and I've
filed a bug report on those:
