Problems with CheckBoxes in PCL
I am able to use ZapfDingBats ❑ to get checkbox in PDF. But When I
generate PCL , this appears as letter Q.
When I tested the sample file fonts.fo that comes with FOP distribution to
generate PCL, it does not generate the check boxes in PCL. I have tried this
with both 0.20.3 and 0.20.4.
In the site , it is mentioned that PCL generation supports all the basic 14
fonts.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks

Art Welch, out PCL expert, is not around so I'll try to help you as good
as I can. Disclaimer: I'm no PCL expert. I've had a look at the
programmer's manual for my Brother HL-1250 which is a PCL printer. It
doesn't support ZapfDingbats. Looking at PCLRenderer.java there's code
that should trigger the selection of a ZapfDingbats font. But I think
not every PCL printers has the same fonts pre-installed. Unfortunately,
the PCL renderer doesn't support embedding fonts, so I guess you're
stuck with this problem.
As a possible workaround, try to generate a little bitmap from the
checkbox in an image editor and use that.
I hope this helps a little.
