Iris would be much more useful if it would export as Drawfile which PDF
can, but can't handle the embedded fonts which Iris can.

Drawfiles, like PDF files, are scaleable, unlike Sprites, Iris' chosen
export format!

My main application is in music notation, but whilst Iris can display and
support some processing with the site:

    ABC_Tools:  https://www.michaeleskin.com/abctools/abctools.html

it falls over at the final but vital step of saving the PDF music score -
it just gets stuck and I don't know where, or to whom, to report that.

Is there a bug tracker?

John
