yes.. this sounds good... it's exactly what I mean...

good... so probably I can found a directory containing the existing
patterns, look at them, and create something similar...

this would be perfect...
many thanks to Martin Dobias...

absolutely important...

in my opinion the 90% of people using GIS simply know that they can
produce hardcopy maps... and obviously it is realy important to allow
personalization of simbols and line/area patterns...
