Hi Steve,
     Have you considered making a font with only the fills for each 
basegroup, then using CSS to do the rotation and miroring?  Because 
you'll need CSS to do the symbol placement and sign layout anyways. The 
font would be about 12 to 13 times smaller.  Do you see any drawbacks 
doing it this way?

Regards,
Jonathan
