Description

Some pages like https://lmstudio.ai/docs/developer/openai-compat/tools#high-level-flow include ASCII charts.

All [box-drawing characters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-drawing_characters) are absent in [Geist Mono](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Geist+Mono) (the monospace font used by the theme), causing the browser to instead use the fallback fonts for those characters:

The [Google Fonts type tester](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Geist+Mono/tester) demonstrates this nicely when pasting the chart into it:

Research direction

Start by reproducing the missing box-drawing characters on the linked OpenAI compatibility tools page and inspect the theme's Geist Mono font configuration. Done means ASCII charts render with aligned box-drawing characters rather than visibly different fallback glyphs.
