Title:
  Size 0 dots are large and visible

Status in Poppler:
  Unknown
Status in “poppler” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm creating some PDF files with dots of 0 size. In evince, they're
  visible: they're pretty large and off-center. In other viewers, such
  as Mac Preview and Adobe Reader on Mac, the dots are not visible.

  This code will generate a test file in R. There is a line of 10 dots
  going from lower left to upper right that should be visible. There's
  another line of 0mm dots going from upper left to lower right, and
  they should not be visible.

  library(grid)
  pdf("dotsizetest.pdf", width=4, height=4)
  x <- y <- 1:10
  pushViewport(plotViewport(c(5.1, 4.1, 4.1, 2.1)))
  pushViewport(dataViewport(x, y))
  grid.rect()
  grid.points(x, y)
  grid.points(x, 10-y, gp=gpar(fill="black"), size=unit(0,"mm"))
  popViewport(2)
  dev.off()


  EXPECTED RESULT: 
  One diagonal line of dots

  ACTUAL RESULT:
  Two crossing diagonal lines of dots.
