[Chameleon] SLD Trouble

[Paul Spencer]

Tim,

is the SLD generated from class/style definitions on the wms layer or 
from some other service that generates SLDs?

AFAIK, if you reference a named symbol in the SLD that refers to a 
symbol that the WMS/WFS server knows about, it should use that symbol.

The fact that you are getting the default square seems to indicate that 
it is not so much a problem with the font as it is with selecting the 
right character out of the font, since the default square is used when a 
font doesn't define a particular character.

Not sure if this helps ...
