Thanks.
I had come across DrawIt earlier while trying to find out
how to get the extended box drawing characters to render
with my Vim-xterm combination.

This post is with regards to using extended
box drawing characters in console Vim running
in a xterm on Linux. Specifically, its about
getting Vim to display not just the simple
box drawing characters like "cntl-V u 2500"
or "cntl-V u 250C" (which can be entered
with cntl-K as digraphs) but also the heavy
and double box characters such as
"cntl-V u 2550" or "cntl-V u 253B".
Firstly, GVim and console Vim running in the rxvt variant,
urxvt256c, worked just fine; display the extended box
characters. So, what was the issue with
console Vim in an xterm?
Well, when starting the xterm I set the font to "10x20".
Turns out the "10x20" which I've used for megaannum
was the problem.
Changing xterm to use the font
'-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-20-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*'
fixed the problem;
