Hi Graham,
Do you reset the templateGraphic before choosing the graphic tool?
Can you check if the lockLocation of the templateGraphic is true by any chance?
We'll get it sorted out, I'm sure :-)

Thanks for that Jan. I checked the lockLocation of the templateGraphic and it's
off, as it should be. Anyway the chosen graphic tool works on cards on other
stacks, just not on the one I want it to work on, so to that extent the
templateGraphic must be OK. I could go on about this, but I feel

There is just one 'newGraphic' handler, in the script of a mainstack which is
acting as a library. All it does is log information like the cantSelect of

That sequence is not really invalid UTF-8. NUL-SPACE is valid in a strict

You need to convert this to UTF-8 using uniDecode(). The property

The short why is that what you get from unicodeText is UTF-16 (16-bit

likes. Those same characters can be represented in UTF-8, which is nice for
text that is mostly ASCII, is robust
