How to use symbol systems configured in ArcMap in GeoServer

Question

I configured symbol systems for some polygon features in ArcMap, which include symbols with fill patterns and some symbols with slanted lines. I exported these symbol systems as LYR files, then converted them to QML using a QGIS conversion plugin. After importing the QML into QGIS and exporting the symbol systems as SLD files, I attempted to import the SLD files into GeoServer. However, I encountered following error message as shown in the screenshot below:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Parsing failed for href: javanet URiSyntaxException: Illegal character in authority at index 6: ttf://ESRI Cartography

After placing the relevant ESRI fonts in the 'style' folder of the symbol system workspace and modifying the configuration file syntax to eliminate syntax validation errors, the symbols are still not displaying correctly, as shown in the screenshot below.

The correct style for the legend is as follows:

I have also installed the ESRI font on the system where GeoServer is located, and through GeoServer's REST interface, I can see that the font is available, as shown in the screenshot below.

I'd like to know how I can correctly display the symbols configured in ArcMap. If replicating ArcGIS symbols isn't possible, what are the ways to achieve these symbols?

I attempted to modify the SLD and enabled Mark Factory Precedence for the corresponding workspace in the WMS service, but still couldn't achieve the desired symbols. The code is as follows:

2023/9/18 Additional information provided for the question. This is the result when I comment out the 'filter' field in the SLD. This is the display result of the point symbol I created. Although the point symbol is displayed, the result is different from what is seen in QGIS.

Answer 1

Your syntax is wrong - see the manual entry for TTF marks:

<Mark>
   <WellKnownName>ttf://Webdings#0x0064</WellKnownName>

The font needs to be installed on your system for Java to find it (not just dropped in the styles directory).

Answer 2

Thank you to @Ian Turton for answering my question. My issue has been resolved. I would like to add to Ian Turton's response.

1、To ensure that ESRI fonts are installed on GeoServer, you can verify it by accessing GeoServer's font API at this URL: http://192.168.40.161:8080/geoserver/rest/fonts. Please note that the installation method may vary between Java 8 and Java 11.

2、Symbols exported from QGIS may not necessarily match those in GeoServer, and there might be differences that require modification. For instance, when referencing fonts, GeoServer uses the <se:WellKnownName> tag, while QGIS may convert it to the <se:OnlineResource> tag.
