The `small dashes' glyph. > What kind of glyph do you suggest? Just something a bit less visually dominant -- the dashes seem better than the blocks, but because there are very many densely spaced dashes, they still are quite distracting. Here's the current glyph (this ASCII drawing exaggerates the vertical dimension, so in reality it looks a bit more dense vertically): | 4 | _ #### _1 2 _ #### _1 2 _ #### _1 2 _ #### _1 2 _ #### _1 2 _ #### _1 How about something like this instead: | 4 | _ ## _1 4 _ ## _1 4 _ ## _1 4 _ ## _1 ?
