[Therion] Problem with dots in symbols: map-connection is empty

[Benedikt Hallinger]

Hi there,
just tested at Windows10 with Adobe Acrobat 2019.021.20061; everthing 
looks good;

except the map-connection line: on the first look it looks like its OK, 
but the faint dots reveal themselves as dashes insted of real dots.

See attached image.
I compiled it with therion commit 957e867.
