tmux split bars seem to disappear with smaller font sizes, see below

            {
                "hidden": false,
                "name": "Ubuntu-18.04",
                "source": "Windows.Terminal.Wsl",
                "commandline": "wsl.exe ~ -d Ubuntu-18.04",
                "fontSize" : 9, // 9 is okay, 8 causes bars split bars to disappear
                "fontFace" : "Consolas",
            },

9
8

happens for vertical and horizontal split, regardless of window size.

I believe this is another instance of #6161 -- we cross the threshold between being able to render the box drawing glyphs at 1px and at <1px in width, and because we're not doing any subpixel rendering for them we round that down to zero pixels.

/dup #6161
