transparency line label issue

Hello, First off, I want to thank you guys for providing NCL to the meteorologist community as it is a great program to work with!   I am sending this email in regards to an issue I am have while trying to plot GFS data. I have been using the new transparency option that was added in the latest release of NCL. Overall, the newest functions have been working great, however I am having a minor issue when plotting line labels. When I'm using the cnFillOpacityF function for a certain variable it has a habit of making my line labels for a different variable somewhat transparent. For example, I am plotting potential vorticity and I am making the first value fully transparent, while making the rest of the above values with a opacity of ".7". I am then overlaying this over CAPE (which is fine). I am also overlaying height contours. The contour themselves are not transparent, however, the height line labels appear to be transparent (you can see it in my attached png file). I am puzzled why it affects the line label but not the contour line... Granted I don't want the line or the label to be transparent at all. Considering that I am still in the process of learning NCL I am guessing that I must be overlooking something. I tried changing the overlay issues and changing the line label options but nothing seems to work. Perhaps, its how I am overlaying the PV fill values? I have also looked at some of the example but had limited luck with resolving this specific issue.  I noted in my code where I THINK the issue is. My ncl version and computer information...    6.1.0-beta And I am running it on a mac with the lion OS (latest version) Darwin <comp_name> 11.4.0 Darwin Kernel Version 11.4.0: Mon Apr  9 19:32:15 PDT 2012; root:xnu-1699.26.8~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 Any help would be appreciated! P.S Attached to this email is a sample output file, my script, and I put the sample gfs file that I have been using on your FTP server in the incoming directory under the name "gfs_4_20111106_1200_000.grb2" Derek Mallia
