What browser and platform did you view it with?
(https://crbug.com/807361 may be relevant, with similar bugs for other platforms & browsers.)
Firefox 75.0, Macos Mojave 10.14.6
@bcmills the reason I didn't start digging into browser specifics is that both a local godoc server on http://127.0.0.1:6060/, and github render the code as expected, on the very same browser/OS. The problem only manifests itself on https://pkg.go.dev
Dug a bit more. I guess "more ~cowbell~ Menlo" would be the answer for Macos?
this is what a local godoc serves ( renders really well ):

This is what github serves ( renders well ):

this is what pkg.go.dev serves ( renders badly ):

Thanks for the feedback!

This is an odd bug. I can confirm that I see the odd rendering in my browser. My first instincts were that it's an issue with the font, but I opened a text editor on my PC and set it to the same font and it rendered as expected, see screenshot.

It will require some deeper investigation to determine why the browser is causing this to happen.
The unicode-range properties for the "Source Code Pro" @font-face do not include the box-drawing characters, which are in the range U+2500 to U+257F.
Adding unicode-range: U+2500-257F; to one of the "Source Code Pro" definitions fixes the rendering issue.

@smasher164 so does this mean that this issue should move to https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-code-pro ?
@ribasushi No, the font is fine. I was referring to the CSS on go.dev, which defines @font-faces. Each @font-face definition takes a unicode-range, so that it won't use those characters from a font unless specified. Since none of the definitions have a range that includes the box-drawing characters, it isn't applied to the code.
Here is the current list of @font-faces. We'd just have to add another one for box-drawing characters.

@spf13 @julieqiu so this seems a rather simple fix as outlined by @smasher164 . What could be done to move this along? Thanks!
@ribasushi not so simple. Those definitions are served by Google Fonts. We鈥檇 have to either serve the fonts directly (not really a fan of that) or file an issue with the Fonts team. We鈥檒l likely do the latter.
@andybons I agree: "doing the right thing" (bugging the Fonts team) is the right thing to do. I just don't know how/where to do that, and don't want this issue to freeze is all ;)
I opened https://github.com/google/fonts/issues/2465, which appears to be the correct place for this issue as per https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq2.
Timed out in state WaitingForInfo. Closing.
(I am just a bot, though. Please speak up if this is a mistake or you have the requested information.)
This is still an issue :(
Please reopen.
This should now be fixed.
