Ah! Yes, I was aware that it is not normal to edit such configuration files 'manually' (it didn't work anyway) but I was at a loss as to what to do. Thanks! I got the proper response from the Spontini server. That said, however, it still failed after a restart of both the server and the web interface: 2024-06-09 22:11:00 [E] Exception in ASGI application 2024-06-09 22:11:00 [E] ??? On the other hand, I've found that I can simply switch to PDF mode and I get the PDF as output. >> In the 'Tools' drop-down menu there is no way to choose jsShape.

Let me know... Oh, it's in the SYMBOLS group. Now that I know where it is it's easy. As for why I thought having it in the Tools menu would be expected, there are other tools there under the 'JSSVG' heading. After seeing some of the examples of \js<SOMETHING> I concluded that \jsShape would (should?) be there as well. > HTH, > P Helpful indeed. Thank you! -David
