[Qgis-user] rendering problem in print composer

[Andreas Neumann]

 Hi Jake,

 This sounds very strange. Is this only happening in the print composer 
 preview or also in the actual print out (PDF or real print out).

 Older QGIS versions (1.7 and below) did not show the print previews in 
 the print composer with the correct scalings (the map extent was 
 correct, but symbol sizes, line-widths and text sizes were not (usually 
 drawn bigger compared to the print out)).

 In your case I would recommend that you create an SVG file with your 
 birdhouse (you can do that in Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator). You then 
 can use this bird house SVG file to represent your bird house symbol.

 Hope this helps,
 Andreas
