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 '❏'. 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. gReetZ Torsten > -----Original Message----- > From: Zmitko, Jan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Mittwoch, 18.
