Adding text to google maps polyline icon

Question

I'm trying to add text to a polyline icons property.

The icon's path property can follow the SVG path notation. What I'm looking for is an svg representation using path notation for letters A-Z and numbers 0-9.

SO is not a search-engine for any kind of ressources, here an explanation how you may easily create these paths on your own instead(using inkscape )

1. open a new document
2. use the text-tool(there's a button with an "A" or hit F8) and type the desired number/letter
3. hit F1 and move the object to the top-left corner of the drawing
4. from the top-menu select path->object to path
5. save the document as plain svg
6. Open the SVG with a text-editor and you'll see the path somewhere in the document

Instead of saving the SVG you may also use the code-explorer to get the path (CTRL+SHIFT+X)
