[Therion] How to draw water area with an island

[Bill Gee]

Mostly I use Okular running on Fedora Linux.  Occasionally I will open a 
PDF file in a browser just to see what a different rendering engine 
might do.  In most cases there is no difference.

I used to have a VERY old copy of 32-bit Adobe Reader for Linux.  It 
stopped working some years ago, and I think I no longer have the installer.

Tarquin has offered an idea that I will try.  It is a trick in the way 
the area border is drawn.
