When creating a graph using a hardware font, a GIF device driver, and
the TRANSPARENCY graphics option set, text written over other objects
such as bars may have blocks of the background color around it.  For
example:

   goptions reset=all dev=gif transparency ftext="Arial";
   ods listing close;
   ods path sasuser.tmplmst(update) sashelp.tmplmst(read);

   proc template;
     define style bcolor;
     parent=styles.default;
     style body from body / background=yellow;
     end;
   run;
   quit;

   ods html body='body.html'style=bcolor;
   pattern v=s c=blue;

   proc gchart data=sashelp.class;
   vbar age / discrete inside=freq;
   run;
   quit;

   ods html close;
   goptions reset=all;
   ods listing;

The background of the HTML page is yellow, and the bars are blue.  The
frequency count will appear inside the bar, inside a yellow box.

To circumvent the problem, select a software font for the text, or
remove the TRANSPARENCY option from the GOPTIONS statement and set CBACK
on the GOPTIONS statement and CFRAME on the procedure action statement
to the same color as the intended BGCOLOR.
