I was able to get an education on what a Python Script file is and does. I saved it along With the fonts to my NU_files directory. Made the [FILTER] addition to my stepconfig.ini file I open AXIS and then from the file menu try to open engrave-11.py. "Nuttin Honey" What is the chmod ugo+x before the ENGRAVE-11.py when you are setting it as an executable? When you say "RUN" ~/ENGRAVE-11.py is that while in AXIS or from the home menu? Bear with me I am new to LINUX
