--- Comment #32 from Thomas Freitag <Thomas.Freitag at alfa.de> ---
Now that 0.22 is released I want to ask You to think once again about my
slighty changed suggestion in comment 30:
Because of the huge changes in rendering with the patch, probably the most
users of poppler will get unexpected results with the patch, and even if we
think that the result is then more acrobat like, we are not acrobat.
I know, that You're not a big friend of options, but if I change my patch in
that way that the default behaviour is interpreting the PDF SA command which
means that I draw solid lines if SA is on and and the requested line width,
transformed into device space, is less than half a
pixel and a shaped line else, and let the output as it is if SA is off, I think
the rendering changes would be more acceptable.
And if we then implement an option to override this default behaviour with
either always draw solid 1 pixel lines or draw shaped 1 pixel lines it will
keep all options for an user.
