Enrico,

By default, in my HMG app, I use 'Arial' as a font.

But the 'check mark' character is really a 'dividing sign' that 'looks
like' a check mark.

For years, I have been using that character in my browses, etc to show
that something is 'checked'.

But any windows character that looks like a check mark would be useful !

TIA,

Then just browse Arial font using the Fonts Map tool and locate a suitable
character. Or use a bitmap, if your browse supports it.

Looks like Arial "U+221A", the square root symbol is what you are
looking for. Now how you would code this...

This is a Unicode char and I don't know if it can be used from xHarbour. I
hope to be wrong.
