I thought do you need SOME checkboxes but afaik Zapf contains only the
unchecked one (with different dropping shadow).

To use external graphic shouldn't be a perfomance problem I think (the glyph
must also been read from the font file!).
For best quality you can use SVG to draw the boxes your'e need.

e.g. a checked one:

<fo:instream-foreign-object>
<svg:svg width="25" height="25" xml:space="preserve">
<svg:g style="fill:none; stroke:black; stroke-width:2">
<svg:rect x="0" y="0" width="20" height="20"/>
<svg:line x1="4" y1="10" x2="10" y2="17"/>
<svg:line x1="10" y1="17" x2="17" y2="3"/>
</svg:g>
</svg:svg>
</fo:instream-foreign-object>

On the first look it will be a few more code in your template against only
'&#x274F;'. But at the end, SVG does basically the same as the font. It
describes how to draw the character.

Store it in a seperate file and refer it via external-graphic or insert it
directly into your template.
Draw your own checkboxes as you need it and U're without any handicap from
font-side.
