## Rasters and Buildings ## Rasters and Buildings
_new_
Rasters are supported in mess.js - it knows how to download `.vrt`, `.tiff`, and soon other raster formats, and the properties of the [RasterSymbolizer](http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/RasterSymbolizer) are exposed in the language.

The [BuildingSymbolizer](http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/BuildingSymbolizer) is also supported in `mess.js`. The code stores symbolizer types and properties in a JSON file (in `tree/reference.js`), so new Mapnik features can be quickly implemented here.

## FontSets ## FontSets
_new_
By defining multiple fonts in a `text-face-name` definition, you create [FontSets](http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/FontSet) in `mess.js`. These are useful for supporting multiple character sets and fallback fonts for distributed styles.
