Steps to reproduce

Configure the terminal profile's appearance to use "font": { "face": "Consolas", "size": 8, "weight": "medium" } (this also reproduces with lower font weights), then print any light box-drawing characters, e.g. echo ─│┄┆┈┊┌┐└┘├┤┬┴ will do the trick.

Then Ctrl - to shrink the font size and Ctrl = to increase the font size

Actual Behavior

Light-width box drawing characters disappear.
