The leap to characters is particularly excessive because most rule rendering problems can be relieved by using stroked lines instead of filled rectangles.
Not this one, apparently (pdftex already outputs stroked lines).
fyi: there has been rendering problems with acrobat rules from the start, and pdftex has been adapted in the past to this: first rectangles, later lines or rectangles, depending on the size (there was/is a threshold); we did lot sof experiments (random rules, increasing steps, viewing, printing; i must have the test file somewhere on the attic) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
