     `path.curvatureEdit`, `path.removeAnchor`, `path.convertAnchor`, `path.reshapeSegment`, `path.split`, `path.setHandle`, `path.moveAnchor` and `path.insertAnchor` refuse a `subpath` that is not a whole number of 0 or more, and `path.split` refuses such an `anchor` or `segment`; without a `subpath` they edit subpath 0.
     `path.reshapeSegment` refuses a delta of 1e9 pt or longer, as `object.blend.spine.reshapeSegment` does, and `path.convertAnchor` and `path.freehand` refuse a point whose x or y is 1e9 pt or more in size.
     `path.reshapeSegment`, `object.blend.spine.reshapeSegment`, `path.convertAnchor`, `path.curvatureEdit`, `path.insertAnchor`, `path.moveAnchors`, `path.reshape`, `path.close` and the Pencil, Curvature, Knife, Eraser, Path Eraser, Smooth, Join and Blob Brush commands refuse a number, point or handle given as text, such as "10", and leave the document unchanged; `path.convertAnchor` refuses an `x` without a `y`, or a `y` without an `x`.

   - **Group Selection (#2441):** a click picks one path of a compound path (its outline within the pick tolerance, else the innermost path whose area holds the click: the outer shape or a hole), Shift-click adds another, and a click on a selected path adds the compound path, as a click on a group member climbs to its group. A path selected this way moves, rotates and scales on its own; paint still goes to the compound path.
     With Direct Selection, Shift pressed during the drag of a curved segment keeps both of its handles at right angles to the line between its anchors, on the same side and at the same length (`path.reshapeSegment {perpendicular}`). Shift held while any segment is dragged with the Anchor Point tool or the Pen with Alt does the same. With the Anchor Point tool, Shift held at the press on an anchor (or a selected blend's spine point) moves it, handles and all, instead of pulling out handles; Shift kept down keeps the move at 45° steps, and a Shift-click that doesn't move leaves the anchor as it was (`path.moveAnchor`). A selected blend spine's segment dragged with the Anchor Point tool, or a curved one dragged with Direct Selection, bends the same way (`object.blend.spine.reshapeSegment`).
   - **Live Corners:** drag a live rectangle's corner widgets (Selection or Direct Selection) to round all corners, with a radius readout; with Direct Selection, select corner anchors to show and round just those corners (#381). Each corner keeps its own radius and kind (Round, Inverted Round, Chamfer): Alt-click a widget to cycle the kind, double-click it for the Corners dialog, and the Properties and Transform radius fields set the selected corners (`object.setLiveShape {corners, radius, kind}`). A link toggle behind Corner Radius (the `singleCornerRadius` preference) switches the panels to a field for each corner of a live rectangle: Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Right and Bottom Left. Corners stay circular when the rectangle is scaled unevenly or along its own sides when rotated (the radius keeps its size, or scales by the mean scale with Scale Corners on); only a shear distorts them. On a rectangle that isn't square every corner is the same circle: a radius past half the shorter side stops there for all of them, the widgets sit on the corners as drawn and turn the edited corners red at that limit, CSS export writes the drawn radii, and rectangles saved stretched by older versions get circular corners when their corners are next set (#442). Live Corners work on any path's corners too, as on a rectangle's (#511): a star's, a live polygon's (which also shows them to the Selection tool, has a Corner Radius field in the Properties and Transform panels and keeps its radius as its sides change) and a pen path's, wherever two sides meet at an angle at an anchor that isn't smooth: curved sides too, trimmed to what the cut leaves of them (#1144). Direct Selection shows the widgets of every corner, or of the corners holding selected anchors; each corner is a circle tangent to both sides, drawn no larger than takes its cut halfway along its shorter side; a path keeps its uncut outline so its corners stay editable, and the same command, dialog, angle preference and View › Hide Corner Widget apply. With Direct Selection a click on a widget (no drag) selects its corner, as a click on the corner's anchor does, so the next drag on it rounds that corner alone; Shift-click toggles it (#1239). While a corner widget is dragged with the Selection tool the bounding box hides, so the rounding shows against the path alone (#1229). A round corner next to a curved side curves smoothly instead of sticking out of the shape (#1547, fixes #1512).

 - **Fonts:** a font is found by any of its names (family and style in every language of its name table, legacy family/style pairs, PostScript name), so documents from other apps open with the font they name; Find Font and `text.fonts` say for each font whether it was found exactly, by another name, substituted or missing, and how many glyphs are missing. PDF and `.ai` import brings Japanese text back as live type: CID fonts without a ToUnicode map read through the standard CMaps, vertical columns (WMode 1) as vertical type, letter spacing as tracking; a glyph is live type only when the installed font (in the closest style of its family) draws the same glyph, and text in a font that isn't installed comes in as live type shown in the fallback font until the font is installed (exports that draw it — PDF, EPS, EMF/WMF, raster, SVG outlines or embedded fonts — warn that they wrote the fallback font, and Print and Print Preview warn about the type that prints in it; `textAs: outlines` keeps the PDF's embedded glyphs). Two installed versions of one family and style (a font library keeping an old file beside a new one) both load, the first staying the one the family and style resolve to; PDF and `.ai` import tries each version when the glyphs differ, and type set in a version other than that one names it (`CharStyle::font_version`), which layout, the substituted-glyph highlight, Find Font, Package and Document Info follow. Fonts outside the font folders are listed too: those font services such as Adobe Fonts load on Windows, through DirectWrite, and those apps and font managers register with CoreText on macOS (#579). When a document opens with fonts that aren't available, fonts used only in symbols included, a Missing Fonts dialog lists them after the linked-file questions, with Find Fonts (Type › Find Font on them) and Close. Its Find in Folder… (in Find Font too) searches a folder on several threads, reads only what the font scan reads of font files and skips app packages, the Program Files and ProgramData folders, the system's folders and the app data folders in a home folder; Add Fonts copies the font files the user chooses, suitcase fonts with their resource fork, into VectorCraft's own Fonts folder, which the desktop app and `vectorcraft-cli` read (`text.missingFonts`, `text.findFontFiles`, `text.addFontFiles`). The font scan on Linux also reads the folders fontconfig's configuration lists, such as TeX fonts under `/usr/share/texmf/fonts` (#1548, fixes #1529; not verified on Linux).
   A variable font's type gets one slider and field per variation axis under the Character panel's Variable Font button, each named as the font names the axis (Weight, Width), so the type can be set between or past its named instances: the settings stay with the characters (`CharStyle::font_axes`, `text.setFormat {fontAxes}` and `text.setRangeStyle {fontAxes}`, clamped to each axis's range; `text.fontList {family, style}` lists the axes), and layout, outlines, the substituted-glyph highlight and PDF and SVG export (`font-variation-settings`, embedded fonts) use the font instanced at them. Another font or style clears them; legacy `.ai` export writes the style and warns that they are left out.
   The font database looks up a name that is neither a loaded nor an installed family among the other names of the loaded and installed fonts once for each style it is asked in, and keeps the answer until fonts are added or rescanned. Laying out a story of 1,000 paragraphs set in a font that is not installed, with 400 more fonts loaded, takes a median of 56 to 71 ms instead of 409 to 507 ms on Windows 11 (`CRAFT_FONTS_DIR=<craft-fonts checkout> cargo test --release -p vectorcraft-text --lib missing_font_story_layout_timing -- --ignored --nocapture`).
