Oh, I think it is working. It is just that a line in a
PostScript file is *very* thin. A two pixel line is *still*
very thin, depending upon the resolution of your PostScript
device. I find I have to bump thicknesses up by a factor
of about 5 or so to see noticeable differences on my printer.

Cheers,
