Further to that discussion yesterday, I tried creating a diagram where all the line widths were 0.01 and that seemed to fix the problem --- all lines are now thin when rendered in EPS. So that seems to be a good workaround. The inconsistent behaviour is still something which should stay on the buglist though IMHO. Also maybe the 'special case' test which you cited yesterday should be changed to a thinner line? Maybe 0.01 for example?

OK, fine. I wouldn't want to encourage dia making non-standard EPS files. I'll switch over to 0.01 and see if that fixes my problem. > What *is* buggy, though, is that we get an inconsistent > behaviour.

I don't know why it's happening but the end result is definitely that different objects get exported with patently different line widths --- whatever the boundary condition mapping, as you showed above, it's not being applied consistently.
