Good work!

It just takes a little time and effort.  My style of "solid" uses
a slightly different set of characters.  I have put both styles side
by side for comparison.  I don't really know why, but I much prefer
the one on the right.

I learned my "solid" technique by taking pictures that had rough edges
and smoothing them out.  Now, it's second nature.   I don't even have
to think any more!  :-)
