Hi Darren,

I'm having trouble replicating the problem.  Make sure you have an
up-to-date matplotlib.  For example, in CVS, I get the expected
behavior in agg and ps with

  from pylab import *
  subplot(111, axisbg='red')
  text(0.5, 3.5,'this is black', color=0)  
  text(0.5, 2.5,'this is black', color='k')
  text(0.5, 1.5,'this is white', color=1)  
  text(0.5, 0.5,'this is white', color='w')
  axis([0,2,0,4])
  savefig('test.ps')
  show()

If you are still having troubles, please submit a complete test
script, and the output of --verbose-helpful when you run it.

Is it possible you have a pre 0.72 CVS?  There were a couple of bugs I
introduced into PS CVS before the last release, but I think I cleaned
them up.

Hope this helps,
JDH
