Because WinBoard depends on true-type fonts for user-supplied piece images,
there are some TTF available. These could of course be used in texts as
well. (They are not figurine fonts, however; they do not contain any normal
letters. So they are more comparable to fonts like WingDings.)
I made one such font ('Ultima') myself; it should be contained in the
download for the WinBoard Alien Edition.
Another font with fairy pieces is 'WinboardF'. Unfortunately the download link for it there doesn't seem to work anymore. I have it installed on my laptop, though, so I could e-mail it to the guy if he wants it.)
Ultima font
Of course there also is the XIANGQI font that comes with the standard WinBoard distribution. But I guess it is only of interest for those who write Chinese.
Oh, and there also is a font with pieces for Superchess, obtainable from their website http://www.superchess.nl/indexengels.htm (click the 'Superchess Software' link). They are a bit picky on how you may use it, however.
