I can confirm this kind of 'optimisation' exists in Acrobat 7. It is
actually a stroke with a certain thickness which is being rendered. This
also happens in the PostScript code written by Acrobat 7. The nasty catch
is that if you happen to have a dashed stroke object just before this
optimized rectangle, that this optimisation will not (temporary) reset the
dash attribute so you usually get a wrongly rendered 'I'. That's how we
found out about this story.
I got told by Adobe this is no longer the case in Acrobat 8 but I haven't
verified that.
