Hey,
It would be really cool if the chars used to draw the various bits of
the table were configurable. This way we could use the pretty looking
multibyte chars like the ones at the bottom of this page:

Cheers,

+1.
I was actually thinking along the same lines the other day. It would
also be cool especially in the clock report tables.

It could be the fault of the font you're rendering it with... maybe.
