I just found that Apple's LaserWriter driver is very faithful at emulating
QuickDraw - right down to the square pen!  My app draws a lot of lines and
polygons and I need all of the lines to be constant width.  (Diagonal lines
and polygon segments look horrible with a square pen.)

Is there an easy way of getting constant width lines or a round pen?  I could
send my objects through as PostScript code but I'm hoping there is an easier
and more portable way.  I went through the relevant parts of IM and all of the
printing tech notes but couldn't find anything.
