[postgis-devel] postgis_letters in project tree?

[Paul Ramsey]

Using base64 encoded twkb, i can get the letters set down to a 22K function. So, I think maybe this just goes into the main postgis extension. (Assuming you're OK with my minimalist anglo no-special-font handling approach.)

ST_GeomFromLetter can be expanded over time to include additional letters for other language charsets. That matches the capabilities of the system to the needs.
