Are you serious that you need to draw a checkbox or append/prepend a checkbox to a document while you print for it from your application?

There's a workaround of it...
Use Wingdings font and pass Unicode character: U+1F5F9. See: Wingdings character set and equivalent Unicode characters[^]

try to use utf-8 special characters and draw it with your text..

C#

string boxChecked = "☑"; // utf-8 special character
               string boxnonChecked = "☐";
               FontFamily family = new FontFamily("Microsoft Sans Serif");//change the text size by font size
               Font font = new System.Drawing.Font(family, 9, FontStyle.Bold);//ch
               Point DrawLocation = new Point(5, 5); // point of text location
               string DrawText = "the text you want to draw it..";
               gg.DrawString(DrawText, font, new SolidBrush(Color.Red), DrawLocation);

and if you want smooth text give try to GraphicsPath , and update this Graphics Properties

C#

gg.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
gg.CompositingQuality = CompositingQuality.HighQuality;
gg.PixelOffsetMode = PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality;
gg.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
using (GraphicsPath gp = new GraphicsPath())
   {
          string boxChecked = "☑"; // utf-8 special character
          string boxnonChecked = "☐";
          FontFamily family = new FontFamily("Microsoft Sans Serif");//change the text size by font size
          Font font = new System.Drawing.Font(family, 9, FontStyle.Bold);//ch
          Point DrawLocation = new Point(5, 5); // point of text location
          string DrawText = "the text you want to draw it..";
          gp.AddString(DrawText, font.FontFamily,(int)font.Style,font.Size,DrawLocation, StringFormat.GenericDefault);
   }
gg.DrawPath(penDefault, gp);

good luck.
