Using the IBM line drawing set in Libreoffice

I have a lot of forms created in WordStar using the line drawing characters in the IBM fixed font character set.  I now need to create some of these forms in LO.  Can't find a reference in the help dos.

Ideas?

I haven't heard of those characters in a very long time. Does anyone
still use them?

BTW, it's been well over 20 years since I last saw Wordstar.

Do you mean the characters a bit like below (if they show on the list)
╚ ═
═╣

Insert, special character, arial, about 3/4 the way down.

Arial has a couple of problems, one-I understand it is a microsoft  font, 2-it is a proportional font, 3- it is a sans serif font.

How am I supposed to trnasfer the characters to my document?

But the WordStar Command Set lives on, in the minds of those who think
GUIs are, by definition, user-hostile, and as such, a thing to abhorred,
and as such, killed on sight.

Greetings,

Try Courier. It is a fixed font and my Insert > special character list has the characters you need listed near the bottom.

HTH.

Liberation Mono also has some crisp line characters.
