LaTeX font with IBM line drawing chars.

[John Howland]

I need to typeset some output from PC programs which contains
line drawing characters to draw boxes around portions of the
output. Does anyone know of the existance of a font which
can do this?

John

[1]
Check the fonts/ascii directory of CTAN, which contains
IBM's Courier domated to X. This font contains
extended ASCII symbols. Of course, it is a high-quality
Type 1 font.

[2]
Check the fonts/utilities/ega2mf directory, which contains
a program to generate extended ASCII fonts.

Both of them are free!!!
And the quality is not so bad.
