output mode, heavy lines are drawn instead of double lines. |
|
This cannot be improved because the Unicode standard only provides |
|
an incomplete set of box drawing characters with double lines, |
|
whereas it provides a full set of box drawing characters |
|
with heavy lines. |
|
It is unlikely this can be improved in the future because the box |
|
drawing characters are already marked in Unicode as characters |
|
intended only for backward compatibility with legacy systems, |
|
and their use is not encouraged. |
|
So it seems unlikely that the missing ones might get added in the future. |
