Description Trey Matteson 2005-08-01 11:52:35 PDT
Load any page with links.  Print.  The underlines under the links are too thick, especially compared to how 
they look on the screen.

#4226 improved this a bit, but it still needs work.

Here is a particularly bad case:  Set the scale in Page Setup to 50%.  Now Print.  The underlines are extra 
thick.

The problem is that drawLineForCharacters: in WebTextRenderer sets an absolute thickness for lines of 0 
thickness.  It applies the inverse CTM to pick a size that will be fixed on the paper, regardless of any 
scaling.

I tried this out, and it's a very noticeable improvement. I'll check this in
shortly.
