Hello,

Yes, It is a "checked ballot box".

I try to use Arial Font and Wingdings 2.

ttf = TTFont('wingdng', r'C:\Windows\Fonts\WINGDNG2.TTF')

pdfmetrics.registerFont(ttf)

But with Wingdings 2, the result is a white square.

How can I get the mark and not the white square ?

Hello,

In a paragraph, I would like to have a checkbox bullet. But the result is a blackbox.

The code of the checkbox is the following '\u2611'.

How can I display properly the bullet checkbox ?

Thank you for your help.

It's not a "bullet checkbox".? It's a "checked ballot box," as in a box you would find on a ballot.? The black box just means the font you chose doesn't include that character.? What font were you trying to use?

Right, because Wingdings 2 does not contain that character.? You can see that with the "charmap" application.? It does contain the "checked ballot box" glyph, but it's in the slot for the capital letter R.

> How can I get the mark and not the white square ?

There are two ways.? You can use "\u2611" in a font that contains that glyph, like Arial.? Or, you can use Wingdings 2 and use "R" instead.

other open sourcerers :)
