White text plots black?

    I just created some text, colored it white, placed it against a dark green
    background (solid hatch), brought the text up front using Draworder -- and
    thought I had it whipped. Wrong. The text prints black.

    I then turned the text into True Color 255,255,255 and got same results.
    254,254,254 yields the same.

    Index color 255 yields the same.


    I am using acad.ctb, using object color option, and assigning 0% to that
    color screening.



    In paper space I have "display plot styles" selected.



    Any suggestions?

    Here's what finally worked for me.

    Changed text to Index Color of White (color 7). Created new plot style
    table from acad.ctb (I called it WhiteText.ctb), changing one value there --
    at color 7 change screening value to 0.

    By the way, doing the above two steps with Index Color 255 does not work
    (for me).
