Don't know exactly what you are doing but you might want
to try an orthogrphic camera.  Then use a cylinder to draw
each line.  To make the line the thickness of one screen
pixel in a resolution independant way, set the thickness
of the cylinder to be (1 / image_height) or maybe to
(0.5 * (1 / image_height)).  Hope this helps.

Oh!  This is a v3.5-only trick, just so you know.
