how to draw boxes with graphical chars in txt files?

[hugo vanwoerkom <hvw59601@care2.com>]

Hi World!

I have a quirk:

I like to show graphical character boxes in my .cpp files.

This used to work, who knows when, with this:

setfont -u iso01.uni alt-8x14.psf.gz

It shows the boxes but midnight commander has the wrong border 
characters. And of course he cannot find iso01.uni.

Two questions:
1. where would I find iso1.uni?
2. Does anybody have a better way to show graphical characters in text 
files?

Of course it shows my age: we used to do these good things in the VM/CMS 
days...
