Black bars

My question concerns the printing of black bars to
indicate variable values in a report.
In earlier additions of Access I was able to use the
Terminal font to produce both a screen and printer output
for the bar and the actual value at the end. I selected
Terminal because, seemingly alone of all the fonts, it
has both a black square output as well as numbers.

=String([AvgOfValue]*15,"Û") & " " & Format
([AvgOfValue],"0.0").

The result of this, when the font was designated as
Terminal, produced a series of black bars and the values
at the end for the variables involved which both showed
on the screen and printed.
In Access 2000 and 2002 running under Windows 98 and XP
they only show on the screen and print out as a series of
characters only. I notice that the Terminal font has been
discontinued by MS although it still appears in the
Character map in Windows 2000 and XP.
Anyone any ideas how to reproduce this in Access 2000 and
later?
