Description

### Description of the new feature

Since the new Builtin Box Drawing Glyph feature is parametric, exposing some of it to the user could be beneficial.

Specifically Line Width and Roundiness is most useful if a user wants to emulate the look of the original box drawing characters.

### Proposed technical implementation details
