Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Free licensed alternative to ESRI map fonts

2020-07-25 Thread Jonathan Moules 
Once you've got any completed fonts, it may be worth contributing them 
to the Open Font Library: https://fontlibrary.org/


It already has a number of fonts that you may wish to draw from: 
https://fontlibrary.org/en/search?category=dingbat= (reinventing 
the wheel and all that) (and I learnt today that these are called 
"dingbats").


Cheers,

Jonathan

I think this would be a great group project.

Brett has recently compiled a summary of these fonts and symbols here:
https://github.com/Saijin-Naib/ESRI-Fonts-Cheat-Sheets

What I think we should aim for is an equivalent of the "Liberation"
font package, which implements freely licensed equivalents of the
standard Windows font packages (Arial, Times New Roman, etc), with
identical font metrics and similar styling so that they can be used
effectively as a drop-in replacement.

What would be the next step to move forward with this and approach
osgeo for funding?

If you're prepared to deal with converting CGM to whatever that font thing is, 
you can download the definitions from the NGA GWG Portrayal Working Group at 
https://gwg.nga.mil/pfg_documents.php (expect a cert warning)

The ESRI Mil2525C Modifiers and some of those MilSym / MilMod things might be 
MIL-STD-2525 (aka STANAG APP-6) symbology. Not usually treated as a font

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Free licensed alternative to ESRI map fonts

2020-07-24 Thread Jody Garnett 
The PDF is a really “just tell us your idea” rather than  “pretend
everything is a code sprint”  (which was previously the only document with
clear instructions on how to apply for funding).

I am really glad to see this idea go ahead, there are several traditional
reasons for avoiding open source: GeoForAll meets the “lack of educational
materials goal”, a font can help meet the “I have to follow official
cartography goal”, advocacy can help meet the “huh?” confusion :)

Make a proposal to the board if you want to set this up as a cross project
initiative.

Marketing board would happy to accept your proposal also (this is a barrier

Approach project PSC individually also works.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Free licensed alternative to ESRI map fonts

2020-05-13 Thread Brad Hards 
I’d suggest treating -2525 as a completely separate problem. It’s a huge “can 
of worms” that could derail the rest of it.

Partially, but the "bigger picture" is that there's just no alternative freely 
available version of many of these symbol graphics themselves. That's the 
blocker that I've encountered.

This discussion starts to get into the value, it is a lot of work to gather
up these original or alternate sources ... both for end users migrating to

I have no idea what is in the map fonts (or even what an ESRI map font is), but 
if you're looking for the symbology for DNC and VMAP, (which sound vaguely 
like: ESRI NIMA DNC LN, ESRI NIMA DNC PT, ESRI NIMA VMAP1&2 LN, ESRI NIMA 
VMAP1&2 PT) its probably based on some variant of the NGA GeoSym stuff - 
MIL-HDBK-857A and MIL-DTL-89045/A

If you're prepared to deal with converting CGM to whatever that font thing is, 
you can download the definitions from the NGA GWG Portrayal Working Group at

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Free licensed alternative to ESRI map fonts

2020-05-12 Thread Jody Garnett 
Note this is quite the legal trap, many governments have contributed to
these fonts, and then are not in a position to use the result with open
source software such as GeoServer (even though we have TTF symbol support).

Specifically for the US fonts above it may be possible to source the
original marks directly from the departments involved via public domain,
and then as a citizen contribute marks. You can see gvsig working on this
kind of issue here
.

Partially, but the "bigger picture" is that there's just no
alternative freely available version of many of these symbol graphics
themselves. That's the blocker that I've encountered.

It's the later.

There's about 73 fonts total (see list below, may not be complete),
which average about 100 icons apiece.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Free licensed alternative to ESRI map fonts

2020-05-05 Thread Even Rouault 
Nyall,

for my understanding, and hopefully help others, I assume the issue is that you 
have a style 
definition where there are tuples of (font_identifier, 
symbol_identifier_in_the_font) to 
define the styling of layers with point geometries, right ?
Or possibly some dataset layers whose fields also are characters which are the 
symbol_identifier_in_the_font (that is each feature points to a different 
symbol), but the 
whole layer field uses a single font ?

If that's only the former, then assuming there would be N open fonts already 
covering the 
whole set of ESRI symbology fonts (unlikely), one could possibly create a 
mapping between 
each tuple of (ESRI_font_id, ESRI_symbol_id) to (OPEN_font_id, OPEN_symbol_id). 
If the 
later, then you need a complete replacement for each proprietary font.

How many symbols / fonts are we discussing about ?

I think that is a good idea, and something our marketing committee could
very carefully do.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Free licensed alternative to ESRI map fonts

2020-05-05 Thread Nyall Dawson 
Hi list!

One common road block which I find I am encountering when
organisations are wanting to transition to open source software is
that they are dependant on the set of ESRI map symbology fonts. While
there is a large number of quality open-licensed map icon sets
available, there are currently none which are "drop-in" replacements
for these ESRI font symbol sets.

Has anyone else run into this issue? Any suggestions for approaches to
overcome this? Would there be any interest in OSGEO funding creation
of openly licensed alternatives to these fonts?

Cheers,
Nyall
