symbol question

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi,

Thanks. Your tip got it working.

Here's the solution for the record.

SYMBOL
  NAME "fence"
  TYPE truetype
  FONT "monospace"
  CHARACTER "X"
  GAP 10
END

  CLASS
    EXPRESSION /8192|8191|8190/
    NAME "fence"
    STYLE
      SYMBOL "circle"
      COLOR 0 0 0
      SIZE 1
    END
    OVERLAYSYMBOL 'fence'
    OVERLAYCOLOR 0 0 0
    OVERLAYSIZE 10
  END

Best regards,
Bart
