Hmm.  So, you're ssh'ed in to your linux box from your cygwin machine, 
using a terminal emulator under cygwin but executing pstree on the linux 
system.

Ah.

Well, you can try xterm instead.  It intercepts the VT-100 control 
sequences and draws the box "glyphs" itself, without regard to the font 
you're using.  So it kinda always works.

Also, rxvt-unicode does the same thing (see 
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2006-03/msg00119.html )

But both of those options work only if you're using a local X-server on 
your cygwin machine, to display the locally-running terminal emulator 
program (xterm or rxvt-unicode).
