Using font character as a map icon in KML - kml

In the current project a custom equivalent for Font Awesome is used for all required icons in the web application.
Is it possible to use Font Awesome, or some other font based symbol instead of PNG graphics as a KML icon?

Render a custom "symbol font" in the browser

I am working on an application in which I need to support a text box where certain strings are converted to symbols, i.e. custom emoji. The symbols require color and which are not part of any existing emoji set as far as I know. How can this be accomplished?
I looked into making my own font via FontForge and drawing the symbols as svg files. However, so far I have not figured out how to support color.

Non-ascii characters get ignored in Godot lable text

I was working on a Hello World scene of Godot.
Instead of using "Hello World" as demonstrated in the tutorial, I tried something like "你好世界", but I found that it didn't work. Anything non-ASCII that I typed in the label text input got ignored.
How can I use non-ASCII characters in Godot labels? Or is it supported at all?
The default Label font in Godot doesn't support non-ASCII characters.
You can try to change the font in your Label node to one that supports non-ASCII symbols by picking a font from your computer, or if it doesn't exist on your device, uploading it from some site like Google Fonts.
After choosing the font for your Label node, open the Custom Fonts property in the editor of the node, and create a DynamicFont, and in Font => Font Data press Load and choose your font in the opened window in the file system (.ttf or any another font extension).

What is default fallback font of FoxIt Reader on linux

I'm making a PDF and I don't want to embed fonts inside it.
When I used Tahoma Foxit Reader substituted it for some default font on linux.
What is this font?
What font should I use so the Foxit Reader will not have to substitute font?
Installing fonts is not an option since the Client should be able to view this PDF on linux without having to install some fonts and stuff. Can't embed whole fonts since the PDF grows from 100KB to 1000KB then, can't also embed subset of font because used component doesn't allow it.
I want to know this font since I use EASTERN_EUROPEAN charset for special chars in PDF and when the font is substituted it falls back to some default charset and the special chars are trash. So I guess if I set the font to default fallback one + my charset, it should be ok.
Please someone tell me the default font that is used in Foxit Reader.
Thanks

Issue with placemark 'auto' shading in Google Earth

I have a KML file with a list of placemarks that have custom icons, colors, and sizes. When I display the file in the Google Earth browser plugin, I see that icons that are situated below other icons are shaded. This makes the color of the icon different from what I have in the <color> tag. How do I disable the shading so that I always see the true color of the icon?
This is possible in the current version of the Api. You can control the icons color, animation, etc - but the clustering behavior and how it renders the icons is not exposed unfortunately.

Set the size of text in label in LWUIT j2me

Is there any way to set the size(means font size,i want to make my text larger contaning font size of 17-20) of the text in the label in LWUIT for J2ME.
You can set the large text by two ways.
Use ResourceEdit and Create the new Large Font in Font tab. Then change the Label#Unselected font to that new Large Font.
Use following code,
new Label("Sample").getStyle().setFont(Font.createSystemFont(Font.FACE_SYSTEM, Font.STYLE_PLAIN, Font.SIZE_LARGE));
