[Geoserver-users] pdf output and unfilled polygons

Hi
I have some trouble with the pdf output and unfilled polygons. Using gif- or png-files for filling and setting transparent to true is leading to unfilled polygons sometimes:

http://www.sogis1.so.ch:8080/geoserver/wms?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&FORMAT=application/pdf&LAYERS=Ortsplan&TRANSPARENT=true&BBOX=606907.6486276796,227596.13479275,607102.1111716905,227744.47298518&WIDTH=8610&HEIGHT=6560&SRS=EPSG:21781

Changing to transparent=false and everything is ok:

It gets a bit stranger with other layers (no polygons are filled):

This example should look like this:
