So it really is just me.

Your browser might be rendering the Box Drawing characters in a sans-serif font rather than monospaced.

To test, look at the example below. The width of the Is, Ms and As should end at the same spot of it's rendered in a monospace font.

All of those characters look right. It's just the box drawing characters that are screwed up. Browser must be using fallback fonts or something.
