I am not a debian user, but I can tell that the symbols you're  
looking for are in Unicode from U+2500 ... U+257F. Fonts that have  
these symbols are:

        FreeMono
        FreeSerif
        Monospace
        Caslon
        Code2000
        Lucida Sans Unicode
        Arial Unicode
        HAN NOM A and B
        Hiragino Kaku, Maru, and Mincho
        STHeiti
        STKaiti
        STSong (some of these ST-Fonts come with Adobe Readers)
        SimSun-18030
        Sun-ExtA
        TITUS Cyberbit
        some Apple Mac OS X fonts

None of them has all four variants, some have regular (medium) and  
bold or light and regular, one regular and oblique.

The fontsets can be created like:

    (create-fontset-from-fontset-spec "-adobe-courier-medium-r-*- 
*-10-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-10pt_adobe_courier" t 'noerror)
        (set-fontset-font "fontset-10pt_adobe_courier"       'latin- 
iso8859-1  '("adobe-courier" . "iso8859-1"))
        (set-fontset-font "fontset-10pt_adobe_courier"       'latin- 
iso8859-2  '("adobe-courier" . "iso8859-2"))
    ...
        (set-fontset-font "fontset-10pt_adobe_courier" 'mule- 
unicode-0100-24ff '("adobe-courier" . "iso10646-1"))
        (set-fontset-font "fontset-10pt_adobe_courier" 'mule- 
unicode-2500-33ff '("adobe-courier" . "iso10646-1"))
        (set-fontset-font "fontset-10pt_adobe_courier" 'mule-unicode- 
e000-ffff '("adobe-courier" . "iso10646-1"))
        (set-fontset-font "fontset-10pt_adobe_courier" (cons (decode- 
char 'ucs #x2500) (decode-char 'ucs #x257f)) '("FreeMono" .  
"iso10646-1"))      ; box drawing
