[archive] Display extended characterset value in Grid

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 16 July 2007]

Is there any way I can display a checkmark in the grid (unicode) without resorting to loading bitmaps.

You should load a font using the WFCHARSET-WIN-SYMBOL character set. Note that not all fonts support this character set.
Having done this, I believe Times New Roman does. Then you just have to figure out what code (between hex 20 and hex ff) the check mark has (possibly hex d6). Perhaps using the square root symbol would do?

Wingdings 2 has a checkmark as character hex 50.
