Does anyone know of a font that is just varying shape/size boxes that I can use in text (with character attributes for fill and outline) for the data fields of a user registration form? Zapf Dingbats was fine for squares but as I need some boxes to be more than a 1000% x-axis-increased square I was looking for a font that included some oblongs.

Many 1990s era fonts made with Fontographer have rectangles for the glyph when there's no image - check the character map for Fantasy Clipart 2, http://www.dafont.com/fantasy-clipart2.font to see what I mean.

For alternatives among fonts available on DaFont, try browsing through the 21 pages in the Dingbats -> Shapes Theme: http://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=710 Most of the fonts in Dingbats -> Shapes aren't what you're looking for, but if there's something here that would suit your purpose, that's where you'd find it.
