So it really is just me.

Your browser might be rendering the Box Drawing characters in a sans-serif font rather than monospaced.

To test, look at the example below. The width of the Is, Ms and As should end at the same spot of it's rendered in a monospace font.

IIIII
MMMMM
AAAAA

All of those characters look right. It's just the box drawing characters that are screwed up. Browser must be using fallback fonts or something.

Is there any software that makes this easier?
