Hi,
  I am trying draw rectangle today in Emacs with artist mode. It looks
weird, see following screenshot.

  But if I open this text file with chromium browser instead of emacs, it
looks normally. I guess the way that Emacs render this rectangle has a bug.

My OS is archlinux, Emacs version is 24.5.1. My laptop is Dell XPS 13 and
display resolution is 1920 * 1080.

for 1 question,

I use M-x describe-font, press Enter after mini buffer shows: Font
name(default current choice for ASCII chars).
Get the following info:

name (opened by):
-DAMA-Ubuntu-normal-normal-normal-*-17-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1
       full name:
Ubuntu:pixelsize=17:foundry=DAMA:weight=normal:slant=normal:width=normal:scalable=true
            size: 17
          height: 19
 baseline-offset:  0
relative-compose:  0

Also try to evaluate the expression in eshell, get the same result.

~ $ (face-attribute 'default :font)
#<font-object "-DAMA-Ubuntu-normal-normal-normal-*-17-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1">


for 2 question, please see the following screenshot, after C-u C-x RET,
mini buffer shows C-u C-x RET-

I think the problem is that your default font is a proportional one.
You should use a fixed-pitch font when you work with artist mode.

Should artist-mode perhaps error out if the default font is a
proportional font?

Not sure about erroring out, but a warning might be a good idea.
