Shrinking single pixel lines is indeed tricky. I imagine smart scaling
algorithms existed which have some heuristics for this. If you have a line
somewhere that's one pixel big, when shrinking it you typically never want a
high-contrast line to disappear. Then again, how well they work and whether the
library we use has such algorithms too is another question.. :)
