It's called running a beta program to view a file written under a beta
specification that was created in a beta authoring program. ;)

There is not much you can do except edit out the offending code that
Fountain produces in a text editor. Try experimenting with editing out
anything that has "caligari" in the node. That's what I've been doing for
the last couple of months.

Until the authors of the various VRML applications implement the new specs,
there will be some inconsistency in VRML.
