Comment 13 for bug 997595

A hack to get rid of the solid lines:
in the resulting EPS file, remove every line that ends in "l f"

Example:
3.16 515.24 m 60.059 515.24 l f

(of course I may have been lucky in that my file doesn't have
any of these lines that I _do_ need)

Another piece of info that may be useful:
the EPS file generated under Linux (which still has the problem) has as the "creator":
%%Creator: cairo 1.10.2 (http://cairographics.org)

the EPS file generated under Windows from the GUI (which doesn't have the problem):
%%Creator: cairo 1.11.2 (http://cairographics.org)
