Re: [Qgis-user] Font Markers
Hi Grant, I checked with "Font Markers" and it seems like the "Font family" is the only parameter that isn't data-defined ;-( I don't know why. But if you use "Labels" combined with the "no symbol" renderer you can easily simulate that. With labels you can data-define both the "Font", but also the label content (glyph). If you use "offset from point" in the "placement" setting and use the center, it should appear exactly at the points location.

Re: [Qgis-user] Font Markers
Hi Grant, I assume that all of your symbols are within the same font - correct? If yes, if you open the font in your operating system font viewer you will see each symbol and what character it is representing. You can then use this character either in classified rendereres, rule-based renderers or in a QGIS expression, e.g. with a CASE statement. You enter the chosen character in "Layer properties" --> "Labels" --> "Label with". Please consult the styling chapter of the QGIS manual for more details: http://docs.qgis.org/2.14/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_vector/vector_properties.html#style-menu [1]- it helps you get going.

Re: [Qgis-user] Font Markers
Hi Grant, Are you talking about different glyphs in a single font or that every marker resides is in a different font? Both would be possible using data-defined properties. But it would be easier to maintain and probably also faster/more efficient if you use just a single font and just change the glyph. You use data-defined columns or expressions using this button, which is next to every property in QGIS styling and labeling: http://docs.qgis.org/2.14/en/_images/mIconDataDefine.png Please read in the QGIS manual about the data-defined properties to understand the concept. See http://docs.qgis.org/2.14/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_vector/vector_properties.html#data-defined-labeling Greetings, Andreas On 2016-08-26 16:00, Grant Boxer wrote: > I have a series of points in one layer that I want to mark with different > font markers.

Re: [Qgis-user] Font Markers
I think you can make a label for the point layer.properties->labels->show label for this layer.you should add a column.the value maybe drawable text.then use the specify font.You will get font markers.But a layer may draw with one font. 2016-08-29 zhangkai.gis From:"Grant Boxer" Date:2016-08-26 22:00 Subject:[Qgis-user] Font Markers To:"qgis-user" Cc: I have a series of points in one layer that I want to mark with different font markers.
