Missing pixel #20

Closed MarkJeronimus closed 1 year ago

I think I spotted a missing pixel in box character ┤. If this was a thing, I would've seen discontinuous boxes in dos when I had my EGA computer. Do you have any verifiable source for this font?

This comes off the Windows 3.1 installation disks. DOS would have used the BIOS font or a CPI, not a Windows .FON file, so it makes sense that you didn't see this in DOS.
