Re: Drawing lines other than with "-"

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

It used to be that character sets had all sorts of cool things in. That's
not much of an option these days because almost everything is proportional.
Aside from John's suggestion of underscores for horizontal lines and pipes
'|' for vertical lines I have nothing to suggest.

Maybe you can use some wingdings??

Sorry.
