[SOLVED] Checkbox Character in PDF Output

I'd like to be able to include the checkbox symbol in my PDF output. My understanding is that you need an Adobe PostScript Type1 font. I'm not finding a font which includes a checkbox character. Wingdings supplies the characters that I need. Does anyone know of something comparable in a PostScript Type1 font?

You can use a utility called TTF2PT1 to create a PS Type 1 Font for Wingdings and then following the documentation for adding new fonts to your installation.

As an easy alternative, you could either add an image of a checkbox to your document in the stylesheet (TYPE=REPORT, IMAGE=imagename, ...) or use the box object (TYPE=REPORT,OBJECT=BOX, ...) to draw a box the size you want in a specified location with a background color.


Regards,

Darin

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I didn't realize that we had font=ZapfDingbats installed which has a checkbox and a radio button among other things.
