Interesting font.

@Astronomy487, You have to turn on Expert Mode, then you can select a number or bricks to make a composite.  You can select up to 16 (I think it is) in a group.  So, to create the very thinnest line possible, you would but up a half block (aligned for either the vertical or horizontal line you want) and then fill in the space of the 15th block from it.  Select them both so they are actively highlighted (and only those) and then from the menu choose "Make Composite" from Menu > Modify > Make Composite.  Now, you only wanted one line, so you have to erase that last block, so hold down shift as you select the new block created in the user blocks (it will be the last brick unless you did something else).  When shift is pressed and you click that composite block you just made, you will see a pop-out menu and whatever block you click on will be erased.  So click on the extraneous brick and you will be left with the one that makes the thin line.  The trick here is that when you slide the brick around, you might need to line that thin brick with something else, and you can only slide it 1/8th, 1/4, 3/8ths and 1/2, where you just made a 1/32nd of a brick line (the thinnest) and it likely won't work without some planning.  It kind of becomes a math problem.

@Astronomy487 - To echo @SymbioticDesign, you can find a detailed explanation, along with an example, under the Composite Bricks with Padding section of the FontStruct Blog entry from 2010:
