[mapserver-users] How do I draw railroads with Mapserver?

[Stepan Kafka]

You can use the truetype symbols for overlaysymbol.

in your symbol file define something like:

SYMBOL
  NAME "mysymbol"
  TYPE "truetype"
  FONT "tahoma" # or what do you have defined in your fontset.txt
  CHARACTER "|"
  GAP 10
END

In the class definition of your layer define something like:

OVERLAYSYMBOL "mysymbol"
OVERLAYCOLOR 0 0 0
OVERLAYSIZE 8
