[mpzjfeyb] Text contrasting margin

The color of text should be the opposite of the color of the margin area that is inaccessible to printing.  For most screens, that color is black, so text should be a light color.  Paper is white, so text should be black.

When using a glowing screen in a dark environment, the inaccessible area beyond the edge of the screen is of course black.

Text can go all the way to the edge of the printable area but still have contrast against the background of the margin.  Inspired by the failure of black text on a white background with text extended to the very edge of the screen.  The first letters of each line merged into the black margin, especially left side vertical strokes B b D E F H h I i K k l L M m N n P p R r U u.
