Hi, I get a few points out of an oracle database with an sql creator. Next I need to display these Points but not as "normal" point but as a symbol out of an Font. How can I do this?

You'll have to use the LabelPointReplacer before the PDFStyler. Example:

You won't see the result in the FME Data Inspector, as it renders the text using its own font without considering the font choice set in the PDFStyler. You'll have to write the label to a PDF file to see the results.

Any example how to setup? E.g. use windings Font "0x40" to replace the Point (and than export this to pdf?)

For PDF output you should add the PDFStyler and specify the font (e.g. Wingdings) there.
Alternatively, you can use the TextStroker to convert the symbol into vectors.

I forgot to say, if you simply need to visualize the label using the correct font for quality control, you could use the TextStroker before visualizing the result.
