This is not possible.  The used characters for box crossings and the
like are hard-coded into grotty, and you can only decide globally
whether to use -Tutf8 or -Tascii.  However, a small post-processing
script to replace the box and line characters with ASCII equivalents
should work.

You can find the used characters in src/devices/grotty/tty.cpp (look
for `is_unicode' clauses).
