For the front and back I do some curve shortening on the outline (I shrink it). To do this I ported this lib to c#: https://github.com/acarapetis/curve-shortening-demo

Testing the tutorial link (https://penrose.cs.cmu.edu/docs/tutorial/welcome) locally with Firefox 115.0.2 seems okay. If this problem persists, can you file an issue about it in our repo: (https://github.com/penrose/penrose/issues)?
