Hi Geof,
thanks for your interest about  geologist's problems.
And for your effort to produce a good Symbol point
plugin

If you want, I can translate my geological fonts to
SVG graphics, it will take some days, but I think I
can do it using PS exporting. 

Regarding Ravi's question (2. The symbols should take
rotation from  attribute value), this is  important
(for us geologists, of coarse)  since we geologist use
a wide range of symbols connected to different types
of objects (basically areal and linear object) and
each of them should take a different rotation
according to its position to the North (generally
clockwise, from 0° to 359°).
That means that if we have a group of 15 or 20
different point symbols, each of them is probabily
divided in  360 subgroups. The totakl number of
subgroups is impossible to manage with different
datasets in a GIS Editor. That's the reason of a
"rotation according to an attribute value".

Anyhow in few days I can send you the SVG geological
symbols of my fonts.

Thanks again

Giuseppe
