Many thanks for a direct image link that does  not  lead
some bloated webpage!

Ouch -- you  have  font  smoothing  (aka  BlearType) on,
which is so UnANSIstematic.  Please, take a closer  look
at the characters in `syncdraw' and in the terminal win-
dow, for they are different. The ones  in  the  terminal
are those that I seek, and do not find, in the ANSI edi-
tor. The ones in `syncdraw' are ## 185 and 204.
