The Font Point Style allows you to place a single character from a font of your choice at a point feature on the map. Font point styles have a variety of fonts to choose from and numerous settings to change them. This style is well suited for being overlaid onto an existing point style.

Name - The name of the font point style. Choosing a descriptive name can help you quickly identify styles when you are compositing many of them together.

Font - Sets the font type that you would like to use for your Font Point Style.

Character Index - This is the position of where the character falls within it's font. This character is what will be placed on the map where the point feature is located.

Font Size - Sets the size of the character's font for the Font Point Style. You can also select whether or not you would like the character to be bold, italicized, strikeout, underline, or regular.

Color - Sets the style of the fill of each font point feature. The fill can be a color, gradient, hatch pattern or bitmapped texture.

X Offset - Sets the X offset of this style. A positive X offset will draw the style that many pixels to the right of the actual feature. A negative X offset will draw the style that many pixels to the left of the actual feature.

Y Offset - Sets the Y offset of this style. A positive Y offset will draw the style that many pixels below the actual feature. A negative Y offset will draw the style that many pixels above the actual feature.

Drawing Level - Forces this style to draw on a specific drawing level. The GIS Editor has a set of internal drawing levels that can be used to set rendering priority for certain styles. For example, labels are set to use the highest drawing level by default, so that they always appear on top of other map features regardless of what layer they're on. This enables you to add styles to any layer without worrying about them being covered up by other layers above them.
