Because normal line spacing leaves space between the lines of
graphics characters just as it does between lines of text, you must

details on line spacing are in Chapter 6.
Although you can use any print mode with the graphics characters,
it is best not to use elite or compressed. These modes cause small gaps
in horizontal lines that are formed by a combination of line graphics
characters.
