I get brown here, rather than black or red,
using Matsuoka-san's executable.

Yes, but it make be a couple of days before I have time to work on it.

It turns out that the fill color is in some circumstances taken from the
text color rather than the line color (strange, but that's what the Windows
documentation says).  The -try3 patch forces the text color to the same
as the line color during a fill.  That made the RGB color fill start working,
but it must be that the text color needs to be reset somewhere else before
the next text operation. 

The other problem ("lc lt N" not working) is less easy to understand.
Perhaps I have made a stupid typo somewhere.
