That's just an artifact of the very rough rasterization approach I've
implemented at present.

I've experimented with a more advanced rasterizer which gets rid of those
artifacts, but it is too slow.

The challenge is finding one that will
be cross-platform and easy to include.

An idle thought I had this morning was whether we could use nanovg for
this, as I think we already include it
for Canvas?
