But if I change from penstroke to fill, using zkr to go along one side of
the penstroke, then zkl to go back along the other side of the penstroke,
and controlling the directions at each of the points on the glyph, I still
get the same grazing intersections as showed up in the glyph using
penstroke.

So I must misunderstand your comment.  Any clarification you can provide
would be welcome.

Thanks,
