In some cases, especially when you’re not using the default TERM font in TinyTERM, lines that should be drawn are odd characters instead. To change this in TinyTERM 4.x, open TinyTERM’s Session Properties and go to the Attributes tab. Check the box labeled Use Non-Font Based line draw characters. This will use graphics instead of text to draw the lines.

Please note that the color of the lines will not automatically match the text in the emulator window. The line color cannot be changed, either.

If that does not resolve the problem, your host application may be using an alternate method of drawing lines. The control characters ^N and ^O should put most terminals into graphical mode, but they are ignored by TinyTERM. This was fixed in TinyTERM version 4.65.4732.
