What to use instead of css `line-height` to avoid spoiling Unicode tables? -


is there alternative css line-height not ruin of unicode tables (tables drawn unicode box-drawing characters:

┌─────────────┐ │  character  │ ├─────────────┤ │ donald duck │ └─────────────┘ 

(stack overflow , others use line-height: 130%; or similar improve visual appearance of posts, want have neat alternative propose se - particularly for dba.se - can use unicode art tables without looking naff.)

your question bit vague. there no alternative line spacing if want lines spaced closer together. unless have else in mind, should elaborate.

the context question vague too. stackexchange site itself? if so, should have been asked on https://meta.stackexchange.com/

that said, effect depend on font used. in fonts, length of vertical line │ longer in others; instance line 1em long in lucida console , 1.17em in consolas. when using consolas, can use maximum line-height of 1.17 before gap becomes visible, while lucida requires line height smaller.

one possible solution thought of might create font containing line drawing characters, , make vertical lines long. use webfont.
