Chat from FS#194 singled out, so that can be closed.

Dash patterns in BETA2 are very much out of proportion. BETA2 always PG exports 1:1 and only scales strokes so that in the final rendering they match what a technical drawing would show. As dash patterns depend on stroke, both current stroke and final scale have to be brought in accord.

The patch below also restores the alignment of dashes, so that dashed lines do not end in a gap, at least in most occasions.
