Hello
This is slightly off topic. I'm looking for a (decent) LaTeX symbol
that would display a box that contains a check mark. I looked into the
'The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List' [1], but it only suggests
\CheckedBox in 'wasysym' and \Checkedbox in 'marvosym', both sloppy
executions (to my taste). I could use XeTeX and insert the Unicode
U+2611 ☑, which looks nice, but I'm not sure I'll be able to compile
my document in a Windows environment.
Hi,
Using the "normal" Palatino font, I can get the checkboxes (3 states of
them) using the insert->special characters->symbols... (in the
"miscellaneous symbols" category).
When using xetex/luatex (documents-> settings-> fonts), and choosing
"Palatina Lynotype" font, they are replaced by a spiral in the pdf.
Probably they are not available in that font, because they work fine
with Deja Vu Sans.
Best regards.
Olivier.

Would you have some other suggestions? Regards
