Please ignore my report. I understand the behaviour now (again)! It seems I even suggested the current behaviour :) http://www.jsoftware.com/pipermail/beta/2013-March/006731.html
BoxForm is set in both base.cfg (on a per-platform basis) as well as in qtide.cfg. This allows jconsole on Windows to have BoxForm=: 1 (i.e. ASCII) because it doesn't handle line-drawing chars well, while the JQt frontend can be set to default to BoxForm=: 0 (Line drawing chars) which work fine there. Note you can also programmatically toggle the chars using boxdraw_j_ 0 or boxdraw_j_ 1.
