checkbox in pdf

Hello,

I´ve read in FAQ about embeding special characters. I have to implement some
checkboxes. I´ve tried the following code:

<fo:block>
	<fo:inline font-family="Helvetica">&#x2612;</fo:inline>
	<fo:inline font-family="ITC Zapf Dingbats">&#x2612;</fo:inline>
	<fo:inline font-family="Symbol">&#x2612;</fo:inline>
</fo:block>

But in all cases I see #. Can anybody help me?

Thank a lot,

Jan Zmitko

Hi

AFAIK neither Helvetica nor the other fonts youv'e tried out, contain this
glyph so U've to use a font which has this character at this address.
Unfortunality I cant help you which font has it....

but I think another solution would be to create a simple graphic (box.gif)
which can be scaled to your requested font size and use it with
<fo:external-graphic> tag.

hope it helps
