Using ArcGIS Desktop, I've created a custom style for a complex set of point markers. When I publish the MXD as a map service (share as service), no warning or error messages are generated and the resulting map service does not contain the custom symbology. I've tried using both PNG and EMF images as the source for the marker symbols. I also tracked down a hidden tool that converts a desktop ".style" file to a ".serverstyle" file and copied the ".serverstyle" file into the proper location on the ArcGIS server and then re-started ArcGIS server but the custom symbology still doesn't show up. Seems to me that there should be a standard and simple workflow to accomplish this type of task!?
