You can also use a little known trick ....
<fo:block font-size="12pt">
<fo:inline font-family="ZapfDingbats"
letter-spacing="-12pt">❏</fo:inline>
<fo:inline font-family="ZapfDingbats" baseline-shift="2pt">✓</fo:inline>
</fo:block>
You set the letter-spacing to the negative value of the font-size. You may need
to also adjust the baseline-shift for larger fonts (a little larger).

Hi Dave,
I think what Karl means is that he wants to put one character on top
of the other, ie a check mark onto a square, rather than between two
characters. I don't know how this is done, but here are some
alternatives:
Trust Unicode... or listen to Chris on the fop list.
Try U+2611, BALLOT BOX WITH CHECK, or U+2612, BALLOT BOX WITH X.

An SVG image may be a good way to go if you really need fancy drop
shadow effects etc. I'm a novice with XSL-FO, but I have found SVG to
be a good alternative for floating objects in XSL-FO.
Dave, is there any reason one should avoid SVG or is it o.k. to mix
and match it with XSL-FO?
No, I can only see SVG usage increasing in xsl-fo in the future.
It is so useful.
