A tab named in Arabic showed replacement boxes: no interface font had the glyphs, and egui joins the letters of a right-to-left word but places the runs in logical order. - Fonts: the interface takes `Arab` faces from the craft-fonts build input (also on wasm), and on desktop adds one font already installed on the machine as the last fallback of every family. It is read at runtime, never embedded; PDFCRAFT_SYSTEM_FONTS=0 turns it off and `cargo xtask screenshots` sets that. AGENTS.md §1.4 records the rule. - Order: bidi::visual puts single-line text in display order with a left-to-right base, used for the painted tab label and hover text, the recent-files name and path, and the Properties File and Location rows. Accessibility names keep the logical text. misc.rtl-ui stays planned: multi-line text, text input and a mirrored layout are not done. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Developing PdfCraft
|
|
|
|
Working instructions for agents and contributors are in `AGENTS.md` and `CLAUDE.md`. This page
|
|
collects what the desktop app reads from its environment and where it writes its diagnostics.
|
|
|
|
## Logs
|
|
|
|
The desktop app writes its `log` records to standard error and to `logs/pdfcraft.log` in its
|
|
settings folder, next to `app.ron`: Linux and FreeBSD `~/.local/share/pdfcraft/logs/` (or
|
|
`$XDG_DATA_HOME/pdfcraft/logs/`), macOS `~/Library/Application Support/PdfCraft/logs/`, Windows
|
|
`%APPDATA%\PdfCraft\data\logs\`. A start from a desktop menu, Finder or the Start menu has no
|
|
terminal, so this file is what to attach to a bug report: a failed autosave, a page that would not
|
|
render, a render worker that could not start and the report of an internal error all land there.
|
|
Each launch moves the previous log to `pdfcraft.1.log` (and that one to `pdfcraft.2.log`), so the
|
|
log of a run that crashed survives the next start. The file stops growing at 16 MiB. `--version`
|
|
writes no file.
|
|
|
|
By default PdfCraft's own crates (`pdfcraft*`) log at `info` and everything else at `warn`.
|
|
`RUST_LOG` replaces that with env_logger-style directives, for example `RUST_LOG=debug`,
|
|
`RUST_LOG=warn,pdfcraft_render=trace` or `RUST_LOG=info,wgpu_core=warn`; a directive ending in `*`
|
|
covers every target starting with it (`pdfcraft*=debug`). The logger is
|
|
`apps/pdfcraft/src/logging.rs`. It never records the control-channel token or document passwords.
|
|
|
|
## Environment variables
|
|
|
|
| Variable | Effect |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `RUST_LOG` | Log levels for standard error and the log file (see [Logs](#logs)) |
|
|
| `RUST_BACKTRACE` | `1` adds a backtrace to the report of an internal error |
|
|
| `XDG_DATA_HOME` | Linux/FreeBSD: base of the settings folder (`pdfcraft/`), the log folder and crash recovery |
|
|
| `WGPU_POWER_PREF` | GPU choice; by default PdfCraft prefers the low-power (integrated) GPU |
|
|
| `WGPU_BACKEND` | Graphics backend; by default Windows uses Direct3D 12, falling back to OpenGL |
|
|
| `CRAFT_FONTS_DIR` | Build time: a [craft-fonts](https://github.com/storytold/craft-fonts) checkout to embed (Japanese fonts) |
|
|
| `PDFCRAFT_SYSTEM_FONTS` | `0` stops the desktop app from using an installed font for characters its embedded fonts lack (`cargo xtask screenshots` sets it) |
|
