Have you changed borderfmt string in LF to something different than the default ?

In my (default) LF setup, mlerm draws boxes properly. Changing box drawing (as it is, unicode, DEC Special) doesn't break them.

Here's my lf config: https://github.com/nirodhvana/reservoir/tree/master/.config/lf

i have unicode(FONTawesome) icons so maybe it has smth to so with unicode font configuration being not setup properly.

looks like you are using default settings in lf... what happens when you change the box drawing method in mlterm (right click -> font -> Box drawing) ? also, have you tried to use different fonts in mlterm ?

@nirodhvana please check if you have variable width font enabled. if so, disable it and check if your problem is fixed.

@holytrousers I have 'use variable column width' but not sure about variable width font

@holytrousers I switched to the default geometry and the borders are now fine but the icons are still too small to be seen.

I solved it but forgot about this issue I opened. I just needed a proportional monospace font properly set. that's all.
