Postscript-Wizzards? How to set the background for each letter?

[Michael Hagedorn]

Hi,
I found this little script
http://www.codebunny.org/coding/index.html#graphics
--> Shanty: Generates an PostScript file representing an image using
coloured text.

It works fine. You can take any text and any picture you want and get a
poster "a la Matrix" or like this
http://www.codebunny.org/coding/shanty/download/openbsd_a4.pdf

One problem occurs when I tried to print a poster in DinA1 or DinA0
format. The poster doesnt have bright contrasts and it's not very bright.
To change this it should be possible to change the perl-Script.
Does anyone know how to realise a setting like this: When i.e. a red
letter appears the background of this letter should also set to a darker
red. This should increase contrast and brightness?

In other words: how to change the background color of a letter in
dependency of its foreground-color?
Any ideas? Thank you,
M.
