-------------------------------------------------------------

I noticed that this file also contains some thin lines which disappear when 
rendering at lower resolutions. The problem is due to the PDF having _filled_ 
paths with a width < under 1px being used, rather than using _stroked_ paths. 
Because these paths are rectangular, they're triggering our heuristic gradient 
detector which disables anti-aliasing.

I've attached a patch which increases the threshold for disabling anti-aliasing 
to paths with a width and height > 1, and this file now renders perfectly, even 
at 72 dpi. Hopefully this will fix other files with the thin lines problem, 
[~tilman] I'm going to let you try out the patch and tell me what you think.

> 1. Open this pdf both in PDFReader and Adobe Reader. 
> 2. Consider the input characters 「102269 工事成績」
> 3. Some character positions are seen incorrectly. For example, the x 
> coordinate of the character "工" is between the digit "1" and "0".
