With exact line spacing (a:lnSpc/a:spcPts) PowerPoint puts the baseline at
80 % of the line pitch and ends the text at the last line's descent, not a
full pitch below it. We drew every line a full pitch tall, so table rows
whose cells use exact spacing grew taller than PowerPoint's (35.6 pt
instead of 33 pt for 12 pt type at 26.59 pt), pushing tables and text
boxes down and tripping shrink-on-overflow early.
Measured on PowerPoint's own PDF of a real deck: rows now come out at
33.5 pt against PowerPoint's 32.9-33.8 pt.
Every datetime field showed the deck-wide fixed date text instead of a date: empty when no slide
had a fixed date, and that text on every slide when one did. A fixed date is plain text in its
slide's placeholder; a field is an automatic date, so it now shows the local date and time in the
format of its type (ECMA-376 datetime1 to datetime13 as PowerPoint lists them for English,
datetime and datetimeFigureOut the short date). Numeric dates follow the run's language
(en-GB 09/10/2026, de-DE 09.10.2026...); formats with names stay English-only, so other languages
keep the field's saved text, as do unknown types and builds without a clock (wasm). The saved
text is kept on save.
- text: datetime module (field types, formats, local clock via chrono, not on wasm);
Fields::field_in passes the run's language.
- render: RenderOpts::now injects the clock (tests, deterministic output); the PDF text layer
uses the same fields.
- engine: Header & Footer turns existing date placeholders into fixed text or back into a
field; new date fields are saved with the date they show (local, not UTC).

* Sprint 1: bidi and Arabic typography engine
fonts: ISO 15924 script and a:latin/a:ea/a:cs slot classification;
shape_range shapes an item with the whole paragraph as HarfRust
pre/post context, explicit script/language/direction, glyphs kept in
visual order; per-grapheme-cluster fallback (slot face, theme script
font, OS cascade families, bundled craft-fonts face); GDEF ligature
carets.
text: UAX #9 levels for the whole paragraph (a:pPr/@rtl), itemization
by level, script, face and shaping style (paint-only changes no longer
split words), logical line breaking at cluster boundaries, per-line
L1/L2 reordering (L4 mirroring by the shaper); RTL start edge and
bullets, justLow kashida; caret Affinity, logical/visual movement,
bidi hit testing and selection as the union of visual boxes.
model/pptx: theme a:font script fonts and algn="justLow" round-trip.
engine: format.rtl (Right-to-Left Text Direction), justifyLow align.

* Fonts: the bundled script face comes before installed fonts; no Microsoft family names
Arabic, Hebrew, Thai and Devanagari clusters try the craft-fonts face first, so every machine
draws the same, then openly licensed or OS-native installed families, then any installed face.
Installed Microsoft faces are still used through that scan, but not named (AGENTS.md §1.1).

* Morph: shapes move, resize and blend in the slide show
Morph used to fall back to a plain crossfade in the show: morph_pairs and
morph_xfrm existed, but nothing rendered frames with them.
- anim: morph_frame builds a frame from two slides. Paired shapes move along
morph_xfrm (eased); a pure fill colour change blends, other content changes
cross-fade on the same moving box. Unpaired shapes fade out/in, shapes with
entrance animations or hidden media stay out of the frame.
- render: render_blend draws such a frame in one pass: both backdrops
(background, master and layout graphics) cross-fade, every shape resolves
against the slide it comes from, so placeholders keep their own layout.
Renderer::slide is split into canvas/fields/backdrop to share the code.
- ui-egui: the show renders morph frames with these, crossfade otherwise.

* Morph: Words and Characters options morph text token by token
The transition option (objects/words/characters) was stored and round-tripped
but ignored by the show. With Words or Characters, paired shapes whose text
differs now morph their text instead of cross-fading it:
- text: GlyphRun records per glyph the paragraph character it draws, so
glyphs can be grouped into words or characters.
- anim: morph_frame reads the option and lists such pairs in MorphFrame::text.
- render: morph_text draws them. Shared words (or characters) travel from their
place in the old text to their place in the new one and grow or shrink to the
new size; a different look cross-fades on the way. The remaining tokens fade
while following a scale and shift fitted to the shared ones, so a line moves
and rearranges as one. Rotated text falls back to a cross-fade.
draw_layout_with's glyph drawing moved into draw_glyph for reuse.
- ui-egui: the show passes the pairs to render_blend.
