Secondly, I don't know what would happen if you changed the calibre interface font in Preferences->Look and Feel to a font that didn't have the symbol. Thirdly, the symbol might not render in every place you might want to see it, such as in a book-jacket or on the calibre server pages. As in the case where you quoted Nicholas F's post earlier in the thread.
I'm wondering if the performance hit you were suffering is due to the fact that you attached an icon to a Yes/No column, which already has symbolic representations for Yes and No in the form of a of green tick and a red cross . So try this:
- Create a custom column of type "Text, but with a fixed set of permitted values", and make the allowable values 'Yea' and 'Nay' (or something similar)
- Attach an icon using the png image you want to see for 'Yea'.
