Personally, I have created this piece a QQ group Mapnik, and interested friends can add to the mix the exchange and discussion Mapnik ]
origin
When the Esri ArcMap software with maps, commonly used font symbol want to convert SVG format for use in web maps, google online to a lot of online conversion website, not so that the conversion finished, the paper record ttf font symbol turn svg pictures process.
- ArcMap using this font symbol.
- Mapnik this using SVG picture symbols.
Software ready
The conversion process
- Find a ttf font, and copied to a temporary directory. Everything can directly use this software to search ttf font file Esri ArcMap used.
- Use Bridfont open ttf fonts (you can open)
- Select All Glyphs left panel
- Select a symbol, click on the upper right corner of the SVG export
- Select Export Glypy as SVG, select the output path, input the exported file name
- View Results
Application (To be added)
Can be viewed with FIG effect QGIS / ArcGIS Pro / Tile Mill / Mapnik, the specific application steps are omitted.
The shortcomings of the conversion process
- You can only convert a single symbol, not bulk transfer.
- ttf files do not have Chinese characters, preferably in English or numbers of these.
- Exporting images do not know why the sign on the outside the box, the location may be a problem of personal feeling, to be verified.
