Yes, i tried that (and various other ways latex provides),
but none gave me the result i wanted. Don't ask me what
the problem was with the above...

But to state the obvious, latex isn't the optimal tool
for something like this as latex focus is one something
totaly different than making exactly placed lines on a
sheet of paper.
