    Ah, thanks, that would've been good. I ended up using crosses (Xs) in the end though.

    for future reference, there is a tick and a cross in Windings, along with a tick and cross in boxes.

    Marlett also has some of the old Windows IU elements, like minimise, maximise and window. There is a good tick and cross in there which is probably what you were after.

    Technically they shouldn't be allowed as this page is ISO 8859-1 encoded.
