Dear Sal,
I do not know which gvSIG-version you are using. But you should try the latest 
unstable version 1.9 something (available here [1]). There, a complete new 
symbol library is built-in: you can add svg-pictures, add truetype fonts and 
create new symbols from existing ones. There are so many new possibilities. I 
remeber that there was one gvSIG user from italy who created some nice svg 
symbols. But I cannot find the link at the moment. The stable version of 1.9 
will hopefully be released in a few months.

Best,
Wolfgang
