[reportlab-users] CMYK coloured <font> within a Paragraph ... And setting the default stroke colour

[Stevens, Ian]

Thanks, Robin.  

Is there a way to set the default stroke colour for the entire document?
The black is fine, but our printer is complaining that it's RGB black
and not CMYK black.  Would setting the canvas stroke colour on a
template's beforeDocument(), beforePage() or beforeDrawPage() fix that
problem?

Thanks,
Ian.
