Text between box drawing characters is rendered aliased (???) #6488

When I run this in PowerShell (7),

"`e[30;47m`u{2500} What `u{2500}`e[m"

the text comes out without antialiasing. It looks like it's being drawn with FillGeometry just like a box drawing glyph.

If I flip the colors, it comes out antialiased.

To verify my theory that What was becoming part of the box drawing run, I put together a debug tool that turns glyph runs into graphviz documents.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it's so simple.
