[Qgis-user] Well Symbols

[Ross Easterling]

This is my first post to your list.  Hello!

How can I add oil and gas well symbols to a map?  An example of what I am looking for is at:

ESRI has a symbol set, I think it is called:    esri: oil, gas, water

Are symbols in QGIS like a font?
I've been looking for something I could download and use in a vector layer.  And, If I could get my hands on such a symbol set what would I do with it? I mean, how would I install it? Does it go in a directory with qgis?   How would I make it an option that I could choose (in properties, labels, styles) if I had it? In other words, where would it live.  Would it be available in every new project I create in QGIS or would I need to add it in.

I've downloaded County oil and gas wells from the Texas Railroad Commission and QGISshows a dot like a bullet point. I'm thinking that those shapefiles would pull  

I'm really enjoying QGIS!
