Bug#384890: advi: Antialiasing on Postscript images gives lines which are too faint



Package: advi
Version: 1.6.0-10
Severity: minor

advi seems to do some antialiasing that ends up with lines that are
much too faint on typical Postscript files.  I've attached a
side-by-side comparison of advi vs. evince and a copy of the PS file
used, but almost any file will show this behaviour.

This only seems to happen when the total image size is less than some
bound.
