Investigate the usage of symbol oriented ttf fonts for making maps
------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-1322
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1322
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: WMS
Affects Versions: 1.6.0-beta2
Reporter: Andrea Aime
Assignee: Andrea Aime
Fix For: 1.6.0
Net is full of ttf fonts that are really just map symbols, see for example:
http://www.mapsymbols.com/symbols2.html
http://www.paris-pc-gis.com/MI_Enviro/TTFsymbols/ttf4mapping.htm
Investigate how we can use them in symbolizers (is a text symbolizer good enough, or is it faster if we provide a dedicated graphics to them?), see how to setup a wiki page for those fonts, and consider licensing issues as well. Then make a tutorial explaining how to use them to make fancy maps.
