Hi Mary,

They settings I have for high/low labels are identical, so no, that does
not seem to fix the problem. I am running the full 6.1.0, for the record,
and have attached a small screenshot of what this returns. The full list of
relevant resources is below. I will also note that cres includes
cres@cnLabelMasking = True and cres@cnLineLabelBackgroundColor = -1
statements as well, which you can also see in the screenshot.

Kyle

  cres@cnHighLabelsOn = True
  cres@cnHighLabelBackgroundColor = -1
  cres@cnLowLabelsOn = True
  cres@cnLowLabelBackgroundColor = -1
  cres@cnHighLabelFontColor="blue"
  cres@cnLowLabelFontColor = "blue"
  cres@cnLowLabelFontHeightF = 0.008
  cres@cnHighLabelFontHeightF = cres@cnLowLabelFontHeightF
