Problem

Symptoms: Line Draw takes a long time to print on the Epson FX-185 printer. The corners of a box don't connect correctly. Solutions: The problem with line draw taking so long is not really going to change, unless they can get graphic characters in WP to print faster. There hasn't been a change so far. This printer cannot print line draw from an internal character set and WP must create it graphically. The code used to be in the character map in WP 5.0 and was a bit faster, but it was restricted to 10 pitch and would not connect correctly, unless the line height was set to .11". We decided to unmap the characters and let WP create them graphically since it will scale the characters to the current font and connect the lines, regardless of the font selected.
