Line drawing characters overlap creating visual noise #484

Line drawing characters overlap creating a ridge that is very distracting.

This is from alacritty running in Ubuntu 20.04.3, but the same issue appears in SublimeText 4113.

Hi @blargh-sys . The problem is that the if the lines are shorted in some cases it creates small gaps instead. See https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsMono/issues/84 https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsMono/issues/165 This is caused by the different rasterization process of the font in different IDE / Terminals.

So to have small overlapping in some cases is a lesser evil that have gaps.

I don't see a better way to address this problem. So i'm closing the issue.
