thanks very much, I was just about to try that, and indeed it works perfectly. I didn't realize that about stroke's bounding boxes - makes sense the way you described it, cheers

I'm in the process of creating some test patterns for display calibration, and am running into some difficulties. Right now, I'm trying to create a line that is 10 pixels thick, and 1200 pixels high.

However, if you import the svg into scribus, and then use scribus to export as a pdf, it works perfectly. The gradient itself becomes vectorized in a true f...
