Try this:
- Select by color and click on one of the lines.
- Selection to Path.
- Select None.
- Scale the image up to the desired size.
- Path to selection.
- Fill the selection with black.
It doesn't work for everything, but for a line drawing or solid
colored block figure, sometimes you can get amazingly smooth edges
that way.
