More than one symbol for one point

[Holger Floerke]

May it be an option to use a symbol font and "pre-render" strings within the
data corresponding to the features of the point (airport, station,...)? Then
I can use the labels to draw the strings with the symbol font and I will get
all the symbols in a row.

Anybody does this before?
