Title: Table Borders Display Issue with ASCII and Nerd Fonts

Description:

Hi,
I’m experiencing an issue with how table borders are displayed in vim-dadbod-ui. Despite enabling Nerd Fonts and setting vim.g.db_ui_use_nerd_fonts = 1, the table borders are not rendered as expected. Instead of the expected ASCII or styled borders, the tables appear plain and misaligned.

Expected Output (ASCII):

_______________________________________
| id   | date                | name   |
|------|---------------------|--------|
| 1    | 2025-01-18 15:50:09| marat   |
_______________________________________

Actual Output:

id  date                 name 
--  -------------------  -----
1   2025-01-18 15:50:09  marat

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install vim-dadbod-ui using the recommended setup in the documentation.
2. Enable Nerd Fonts with vim.g.db_ui_use_nerd_fonts = 1 in Lua config.
3. Open a database connection and query a table.

Configurations:

• Neovim Version: [
  NVIM v0.10.3
  Build type: RelWithDebInfo
  LuaJIT 2.1.1731601260
  Run "nvim -V1 -v" for more info
  ]
• OS: [arch x11 dwm]
• Terminal Emulator: [kitty]
• Nerd Font Used: [FiraCode NerdFont]

Additional Notes:

• I also tried setting vim.g.db_ui_table_border_style = 'ascii', but the output remains the same.
• The terminal is configured to use a Nerd Font, and other plugins display icons correctly.

Please let me know if there’s any additional setup or configuration I need to try. Thank you!

Query output is controlled by underlying CLI that does the query. We do not modify it in any way
Nerd fonts configuration is for the DBUI drawer.

how to make it have full border

[kristijanhusak]

I'm not sure you can.
You can maybe check the cli tool that is being used for the query, and see if there's a way to configure it.

I didn't understand what you mean, maybe you mean kitty or tpope/dadbod himself
or what are you talking about

I tried not to use sqlite3 and duckdb, it's the same there, tell me why there might be a non-continuous wrapping
can you give me more information

[kristijanhusak]

vim-dadbod-ui uses vim-dadbod under the hood.
vim-dadbod calls the CLI tool to get the results.
For example, for sqlite3, it does something like sqlite /path/to/dbfile select * from users and just prints the results that the tool gives.
