I just checked, and yep, the box-drawing characters appear with monospace set. I noticed, though, that the individual characters are annotated with "DejaVu Sans Mono" when I right-click (see attached screenshot). Unfortunately, when I set terminal/system fonts to DejaVu sans mono, I still get replacement characters. > One thing I noticed is that you seem to have fonts-opensymbol from > backports while I have the one from stable -- besides different sets > of font packages. I would have sworn this happened with a fresh netinstall, but I also likely ticked the "Use backported software" field when the installer asked for it. It seems entirely likely that one of the backported font packages is causing this issue, then :-) ~Connor
