Hi Jamison, what about trying to work on a different solution? I believe other people could enjoy a library of custom glyphs, as such it seems to me they could be a very good GeoTools module. Did you have a look at the dynamic styling proposal? http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Dynamic+SLD+Graphic+objects Compared to the GlyphRenderer approach that one considers also working with Marks, and the return values can be used for high resolution rendering, such as printing or PDF/SVG generation (where you can store the glyphs as vectors instead of images). Do you think GeoVISTA could be interested in adopting that kind of dynamic styling and share with GeoTools their library or styles? Do you feel there is something missing?
