Actually this is not an RLIB problem, it is really a PDF rendering
problem. Zoom in to about 400% and the problem goes away. Zoom in to
800% and you will notice their is an actual gap between the lines.
The problem in PDF is that **MOST** X,Y's are given in FLOAT, and not
DOUBLE.
The joys of vector drawing ;)

There are plans at some point to support table based layout. I don't
know when I would start this (It is complicated and requires at least
two data passes).
RLIB is open source so if you want... go for it :)
