Oops, I think I forgot the attachment when I posted this... Again... I can view the symbols.xhtml file with Firefox 2.(latest update) but I'm not sure it's complete. I made a pdf of it (attached) which has all the information of the xhtml but is formatted slightly less elegantly than when viewed with Firefox. Question one is; Is the pdf file a complete representation, or am I still having viewing problems? If it is complete, what does Therion do with a symbol when the chosen symbol-set allocation for that symbol is blank? In addition I have noticed previously that if I specify a symbol-set, then it overrides my custom metapost codings (for water and sump areas for example) regardless of the relative positions of the statements in my thconfig files. Can I specify a symbol-set AND have custom metapost modifications to symbols?

Thought occurs to me that I should try it with Firefox. I'll check it out at the office tomorrow...
Firefox on my iMac shows symbols table OK, but Safari shows a mess too. Martin

It looks it is complete.

Therion uses its default symbol (on of those from the list). They are not highlighted in the list now, but if you want to see them - just use "legend all" in your layout.
In addition I have noticed previously that if I specify a symbol-set, then it overrides my custom metapost codings (for water and sump areas for example) regardless of the relative positions of the statements in my thconfig files.

Yes, it is possible, but then you need to redefine symbol in a symbol-set you are using. E.g. if you are using ASF symbol set, use def p_station_temporary_ASF = instead of just def p_station_temporary = Now I do not remember, why it was done this way. May be there was no special reason for this and this behavior (which is not intuitive) needs to be changed. Regards, S.

Areas (water, sump) are not filled in your file. Use Firefox 3 beta or Opera to display pattern fills. Martin
