I'm not sure if this has been brought up before, but I'd be very
interested in knowing how to draw 1x1 pixel lines with the bezier tool.
Even using the smallest brush size (1x1) the line is 2x2 when I stroke the
path created by the bezier. It's really annoying, and I think if it can't
be done right now, it would be beneficial to _many_ users if this feature
was added or fixed.
Gimp does draw a 1x1 line with the smallest brush size, but antialiases the
result, putting various shades of gray around the edges. Worse, if you're
putting it in a 1-bit (B/W) image, the gray antialiased sections go solid
black (emulating a 2x2, or even more solid lines, in places).
The only workaround that I can think of is to use Path to Selection, then
/Select/Border to border the selection by 1 pixel. When you fill the
resulting selection, it doesn't antialias it at all, so you get a solid 1x1
line.
