 Using any highlight on `text` and `labels` produces some very bad looking
 results.  I call this the "M" problem, because I first noticed it in
 labels with a capital M, but other letters are affected too.  I've
 attached a sample that pretty clearly shows the problem.

 I see two pretty easy ways to fix this: temporarily change (1) the miter
 length or (2) the line join style when the highlight path gets stroked.
 I've chosen the latter, because I think it looks better.  I've attached a
 patch for ps/ps.map/prolog.ps.  It is marked as a binary file for some
 reason, so I was not able to do "svn diff".  I've also attached the same
 ps.map output sample made after the fix.
