Zero width is supposed to be understood as a special value and rendered as one pixel wide. Which is not so bad on screen at 90 dpi, but is likely to be invisible at 2400 dpi or whatever your printer does.

This also means you can't rely on the width being the same for layout purposes.
That's very useful to know. Then, presumably, I could experiment with various different resolution settings in Acrobat Distiller to see the effect on "line width" and determine the optimum line width for the final copy.

That won't work ...

Good advice : never use zero linewidth strokes on purpose and use tools
to detect & correct such things as soon as possible. > John.

OK, they're gone ...

Thanks for the advice.
