Cartographer's Annual Vol. 12 (2018), why do some symbols have a magenta colored artifact?

Renaissance Maps
I guess you are looking for something with parchment and ink?
I don't know what add ons you have, so my suggestion is to use the CC3 Mike Schley Inks Overland style with a parchment overlay.
The example below was done like that. I drew the map first and then made a new sheet over the top of the whole map and imported an image of parchment. I added a Blend Mode sheet effect to the parchment sheet and set it to "Multiply", and the opacity to 100 %. Multiply has the effect of removing all the white from the parchment and allowing the detail of the map to show through from underneath. That way the map looks like it was drawn in ink on the parchment.
This is not the only possibility if you have any of the annuals. There are a lot of styles that use parchment as a background. The fastest way to look for other styles you can use is to go to the wall of links I made to access the annual issues within the annuals.

Paths the should be smoothed are sometimes not
I was in a rush earlier, so here are a couple of answers:
Yes, the Pete Fenlon revisited style was working fine for me, and I believe the DD3 and CD3 icons are installed as a way of giving you fast access to the dungeon and city tools on the tops of the toolbars on the left - drawing rooms and walls, or using the House and Street tools depending on what you are doing. Although you only have CC3, you do also have built in Dungeon and City styles that you can use.

Practical use of the new Fractal Terrains Profantasy Normal Map in Campaign Cartographer?
Yes, I did. The symbol edge issue is why I didn't create a style based on shaded mountains. There was another problem in that the image png was made so bright by the effect of the map file that I had to turn the original images really dark to compensate. Making them dark enough to come out the same basic colour as features done in the same colour but without a map file meant that they were too dark to take very much colour detail.
I did mine in Wilbur, not FT3. Unfortunately, I seem to have lost them in the transition between my old laptop and new PC.

Live Mapping: Black & White Overland Map
Hi Everyone! :D
In this week's Live Mapping session Ralf will create an overland map with the Black & White style from the 2008 Cartographer's Annual (Vol 2), while updating the style in the process.
This is an excellent opportunity to pick up useful information if you ever decide to duplicate and modify an existing style for yourself.
Come along and join in, or watch the recording later :)

What does exactly the term "commercial use" mean in license description ?
For a completely correct and no guessing response to that question you need to contact Profantasy directly. Anyone else's interpretation is only as good as yours unless it comes direct from Profantasy.
You can contact them via your Support tab on your account page.
Having said that, though, I think you will find Profantasy's EULA is pretty generous once you are clear on the exact meaning.

Mouse stuck snapping.
The visible grid that prints is a separate entity to the snapping grid, which exists only in CC3 and is never printed.
Look at the bottom right of the window. There are 5 buttons there, two of which are Snap and Grid. It's possible that you may have the Snap turned on, but the Grid turned off. The effect would be as you describe - the mouse cursor snapping to an invisible grid.

How to get add-ons to SS4
If you can't find what you want in all the CC3 assets you have, you can always import third party assets. There's a list of commonly used ones here:

I can't say which of them, if any, will have a furnace in them, but other people might be able to help you there.
