Of SSRS an Tick marks.

Question

User-534866449 posted

I'm working on a project where we need a report that shows a status report for every day of the month. A poisitive response for the unit for the day should be marked with a Tick mark.

I tried two different approaches.

The first was to use the Unicode Check mark U+2713. Which was easy and showed up fine in SQL Server but came out as garbage in the report.

So I decided to be a little cheeky and use the Wingdings 2 font which has the tick mark as the capital 'p'. That worked great, but once deployed on our server, the nasty bugger gave us a P instead of a check mark. I asked our server guys to install the font on the server but that hasn't helped. 

Any idea guys?

PS. Am using regular reporting. not crystal.
