Hi,

I'm still trying to achieve my earlier stated goal to have part of a
label 'inverted' (that is, with a different background and font color
than the rest of the label).

Of course the 'best' solution would be if there could be more advanced
label formatting, where different parts of a label could have different
formatting options.

another solution might be to be able to combine a number of labels into
one. in this approach, each label would be formatted as currently is,
but at the end one could combine them so they are rendered together.

for an illustration, please see the image attached. this is the result
of having two TextSymbolizer elements in the same FeatureTypeStyle, one
having a simple label value, font with a blue fill. the other label has
a white font fill and a graphic element, a square with a blue fill,
which is rendered underneath the letter. one side effect is of course
that the label with the capital F is rendered a different number of
times, and independently from the other text label.

my goal would be to combine these somehow, so that this appears as a
single label: the capital inverted F as the first part of the label,
with the rest of the regular text following.

I understand this cannot be done with the current feature set of
geoserver / geotools. if I wanted to add such a feature, what would be
the best approach?

best regards,


Akos
