Hi Oliver,

I have mixed feelings about this patch. This approach is ok for Cairo
and non-cached targets in OpenGL, for cached targets it will still draw
a line that is dependent on the zoom level.

Ideally, the problem could be solved with shaders. I can give you some
hints if you want to tackle this, otherwise I may try to code it myself
next week.

Regards,
Orson
