[Qgis-user] SVG Fill

[Jonathan Moules]

Ah, I'm not symbolising Topographic Point or Cartographic Symbol (forgot
about that). The MasterMap loader I've created (a custom FME loader)
converts those into line symbols which are whats stored in the database.
This ensures they get symbolised consistently across GIS packages. The only
thing that needs to be done then is to symbolise by colour as desired.

I do have the symbols-as-lines stored as shapefiles if that'll be any help
to you. I'm not sure if QGIS could take them, but I can try and convert
them to SVG files with FME (tenative testing indicates it may be possible).
