Hum, yes and no. The code in the released version tries to take into account all symbolizer sizes, but due to this bug https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-5112 the buffer distance evaluator did not take into account the size of external graphics unless you explicitly declared it in the SLD file, but leaving instead the icon at its natural size. The issue should be fixed now, if you want to try out the fix try using the latest nightly build here: http://gridlock.opengeo.org/geoserver/2.1.x/ Cheers Andrea -- Ing.
