Lwd ignored when printing on Windows

Andy,
   I've experienced the same thing. What's interesting is that printing 
a plot (CTRL-P) with lwd = 25 makes lines on the hardcopy look like lwd 
= 5. I'm using R1.7.1 on Win2000Pro.

Regards,
Sundar

Dear R-help,

Has anyone notice the problem that, on Windows (NT and XP), when printing a
graph using the "File -> Print..." menu in the graphics window to print the
graph, that line width seemed to be ignored in the printed output?  For
example, if I make a plot with plot(1:10, type="l", lwd=5), it looks right
on screen, but when printed out using the menu, it looks like the plot was
made with lwd=1.  I've had this problem for quite a while (at least since
1.3.x) and still present in 1.7.1.  Has anyone else seen this, or just me?

Best,
Andy
