Gaps in boxes drawn with double frames #157

Description

Thank you for the great font! I love it. The only small issue is that a few (not all) double frame characters are drawn with gaps.

Windows 10 Home, Font version 0.048 (I installed only 4 fonts: regular, bold, italic, and bold+italic):

I spotted the issue in Conemu with FAR running inside it. FAR uses double frames in the main window and the gaps at the bottom of the screen are always visible. I took an example from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-drawing_character#Examples:

┌─┬┐  ╔═╦╗  ╓─╥╖  ╒═╤╕
│ ││  ║ ║║  ║ ║║  │ ││
├─┼┤  ╠═╬╣  ╟─╫╢  ╞═╪╡
└─┴┘  ╚═╩╝  ╙─╨╜  ╘═╧╛
┌───────────────────┐
│  ╔═══╗ Some Text  │▒
│  ╚═╦═╝ in the box │▒
╞═╤══╩══╤═══════════╡▒
│ ├──┬──┤           │▒
│ └──┴──┘           │▒
└───────────────────┘▒
 ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒

In tried few more applications(including Notepad++ and gVim). The boxes above are displayed with gaps everywhere. On another laptop (different laptop brand and Windows version), the gaps are visible, too. I do not have MacOS at hand, so I cannot check it there. Changing the size of the font did not fix anything (moreover, on small sizes around 5-6, the gaps appears even for single frames, but I doubt 5-6 font size is usable, so it is not a problem at all).

It is a screenshot from Notepad++. As you see, only some bottom box parts have gaps. Top and middle ones are fine:

I found an old closed issue #109 . The issue suggested to remove ASCII versions of the font. In my case, I do not have any of them(see the first screenshot). I started using your font since version 0.047 and then updated to 0.048. Both times I installed the same 4 font files.

If the issue is not reproducible at your machine, no problem - I can live with gaps 😄

Thank you!
