[Bug 868119] Re: [7 mod] Ubuntu mono font is not suitable for ASCII pseudo graphics because of vertical gaps

 

With the test case I've provided, I don't get any horizontal gaps, just
vertical ones (and even those may be a side-effect of bug 1394914). In
particular,

    pango-view --font="Ubuntu Mono 48" --markup --text='<span
fallback="false">──</span>'

gives me a solid horizontal line.
