Environment

Windows build number: 18922
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.2.1831.0

Any other software?

This particular example was generated on Debian Buster with ponysay 3.2.0, but the same rendering issue occurs with other combinations; this is just the one that makes it most obvious.

Steps to reproduce

With WSL installed and a WSL prompt open in Windows Terminal:

sudo apt install ponysay
ponysay -q

Expected behavior

renderingdifferences

ASCII art image on the left (Terminal) should match ASCII art image on the right (console), without blur, jaggies, or superfluous underlines.

Actual behavior

It, well, doesn't.

This is probably some combination of #1703, #1626, #404, and #455!

Aaah, I missed #455

I've subscribed to all those; will re-open if this persists once they're resolved.
