[Gvsig_english] 0.x thickness of line-shapefiles in print

[Da Kn]

hi, thanks a lot for your answer. I made some changes in the settings and
tried it again, it's working, but it remains working with the old settings
now. perhaps I was just expecting too much from the difference of line
thickness of 1 and 0.5, but if I watch carefully to it, there is an explicit
difference between maps print in 1 and 0.1 thickness. perhaps I was just
blind or confused...

thank you!
