[mapserver-users] Convert SVG/EPS/PS File for Use as aSymbol

[Nolte, Tim]

That's exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for. There is an app called FontForge that I found but it wasn't very easy to use ask I basically had to know everything there is about what goes into creating fonts. Actually I had to install this on my home Mac as there is no Windows build that works without Cygwin and X.

A thought, is there a SVG to TrueType font convertor anywhere, this would allow for the symbol scaling . . .

Looks like I forgot to mention that my desire is to convert to a vector format that I can use. It's no problem for me to create a bitmap to use but bitmaps don't scale as well as vector.
