Printing lines with box-drawing characters
Box-drawing characters (AKA line-drawing characters) in the Ascii table, are widely used in legacy programs (DOS, Unix, Linux, ...) to print frames and boxes.
When printing with a font like "Courier New" or "Lucida Console" in OEM-to-Ansi conversion, Windows automatically renders them by using the most similar ones in the currently selected Windows Ansi codepage (usually dashes and plus signs).
This video shows how to correctly render them with a Windows PC8 font.
Let's go:
Open a DOS text with box drawing chars
Print it!
With "Courier New" boxes are dashed
Select a PC8 font, like aSwIt Mono 437
Print from DOS again
Now boxes are unbroken
