[OSM-newbies] Symbols

[Seventy 7]

 >> which is where Maperitive picks up its symbols from. 

Not quite, it's where the rule tells it to load the icon from. If you're
using the default rules then these only use Mapnik icons at the moment.
The JOSM icons are here
http://josm.openstreetmap.de/svn/trunk/images/presets/ but I couldn't see
a florist.
However there is a florist symbol here
http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/share/map-icons/ in the
classic.big and classic.small folders.
You can't use svg files in Maperitve yet, they need to be bitmaps.
Did I not do a demo of this for you?
Cheers,Steve

  John i) could you not use say Inkscape to create a png from the SVG
  fileii) save the png to your computeriii) change the rules file to
  point to the icon for a florist? David

    I'm playing with Maperitive and trying to get a POI of florist to
    show.  Unfortuntely it isn't in the list of symbols at
    http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/rendering/mapnik/symbols
    which is where Maperitive picks up its symbols from.  JOSM has a
    nice flower icon that looks fine, where can I find a florist
    symbol that Maperitive can use?

    For example
    http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/share/map-icons/svg/shopping/florist.svg

    Thanks John
