This file is incredibly big! The original gisafSymbols.bf is less than 200kB, 30 times smaller than this one, only for around 100 more glyphs.
I could open few glyphs (characters) in Birdfont and noticed that there are a lot of useless points defining the paths (Bezier curves). Generally, we try to draw the shapes with the least possible points.
I fear that it might impact greatly the performance of Gisaf - we can try though, but the ideal would be to simplify those path.
Meanwhile, i cannot convert the file to .ttf, which is the first step. The software just hangs. Can you please try, using the export function?

Thanks. As i feared, the .ttf file is very big, 30 times bigger than the original. This will definitely impact the performance of Gisaf (loading time, rendering time...) Acceptable or not, we'll see.

OK, after quite a lot of work in-between (various major updates) i could generate the font files for the map and... they are almost the same size than previously ! So i'm optimistic now that this new font won't create any issue with the rendering.
But there will be quite a lot of work adjusting all the layers with the new character codes. Some you can do (the survey/ISO layers), others i'll have to do (the "Misc" ones).
I hope i can put the new version online tomorrow. We're almost there, thanks for your patience.

Thanks. For reference, the default characters (please avoid attaching files when a simple copy/paste is possible):
Point Default Code - U+e32b (0xe32b) Line Default Code - U+e32c (0xe32c) Polygon Default Code - U+e32d (0xe32d) Well Default Code - U+e32e (0xe32e)
Note that i'm currently working on the server, updates etc, so it Gisaf might not be available.
