Type: Optical Margin Alignment is a setting of the whole thread

Optical Margin Alignment was stored and set per text object, so the
frames of one thread could differ. Turning it on in the first frame of
a thread left the lines in the other frames flush with their margins.

Type › Optical Margin Alignment and type.opticalMarginAlignment now set
every frame of a selected frame's thread, in one undo step, and the
reply's ids list them all. After any edit to a thread, its frames take
the setting of the frame that the edit turned on or off, else the
first frame's. Threading frames gives the thread its first frame's
setting, and frames taken out of a thread keep it. A file whose frames
of one thread differ opens with the first frame's setting in all of
them. This holds for native files and for documents restored from the
editing copy that an EPS, SVG, PDF or .ai file carries.

Threading text from an out port into existing area type
(text.thread.add with to) now flows the story into that frame at once.
Before, the story reached it only at the next edit of one of the
thread's frames.

   For Auto Size area type in columns, the bisection for the frame's height runs on the lines of the one-column layout, and its result is checked with at most two layouts of the columns. When the text wraps around objects or does not fit the one-column layout, or when the check fails, the columns are laid out at every step of the bisection, as before. Typing at the start of a story of 50,000 characters in 2 columns took 1,670 ms a keystroke and now takes 292 ms (release build, `auto_height_in_columns_typing_timing`).
   Exports to PDF, EPS, SVG, EMF, WMF and the raster formats warn about the area type and type on a path that they draw without the text that doesn't fit, and give their ids, as Print and Print Preview do.
   An edit copies a thread's story only when it changes one of the thread's frames: with a story of 50,000 characters threaded through 8 frames with a style change at every word, moving another object took 7.8 ms and now takes 0.013 ms, and a frame of a drag took 7.2 ms and now takes 0.012 ms (release build, `threaded_story_edit_timing`).

   Type › Optical Margin Alignment (`type.opticalMarginAlignment`) hangs the punctuation and letter edges at the ends of a type object's lines outside its margins: at the left of left-aligned lines, at the right of right-aligned lines, and at both ends of centered and justified lines, in point and area type of left-to-right paragraphs. Quotation marks, hyphens, full stops and commas hang wholly; asterisks, tildes, ellipses, en and em dashes, colons and semicolons hang by half; and A, V, W, Y, v, w and y hang by a tenth of their width. It is off by default and saved with the type object.
   The Paragraph panel menu's Hyphenation… (`ui.hyphenation`, `text.setFormat {wordsLongerThan, afterFirst, beforeLast, hyphenLimit, hyphenationZone, hyphenateCapitalized}`) sets each paragraph's hyphenation limits: the shortest word that breaks, the fewest letters on each side of the hyphen, the most hyphenated lines in a row, a zone at the right edge where the Single-line Composer breaks before a word instead of hyphenating it, and whether capitalized words break. The defaults are words longer than 5 letters, 3 letters on each side, no limit or zone, and capitalized words hyphenated; paragraph styles and the native file keep the options.
 - **Interface languages, vertical type:** Preferences ▸ User Interface (or VectorCraft ▸ Language on macOS) picks Automatic (the system locale) or a registered language, persisted as `interfaceLanguage`. Translations come from per-language catalogs (`i18n/*.tsv`): Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Japanese, German (every `de-*` locale), Spanish (neutral international Spanish, for every `es-*` locale), French (every `fr-*` locale), Italian (every `it-*` locale) Russian (every `ru-*` locale) and Ukrainian (every `uk-*` locale) cover the whole interface, Czech every menu label; Czech, German, Greek, Spanish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Swedish, Ukrainian and Finnish also translate status-bar and error messages as they are shown (`@msg` templates, every message literal tested; the messages themselves stay English for agents); untranslated text stays English. Japanese and Chinese glyphs come from the craft-fonts build input (release builds) or the installed fonts, Czech, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Russian and Ukrainian ones from the bundled UI fonts. The web app follows the browser's languages (or `?lang=`). The Basic toolbar's Type button holds Vertical Type in its flyout. Vertical Type, Vertical Area Type and Vertical Type on a Path create vertical text (columns right to left, upright CJK glyphs and marks with `vert` alternates, Latin and longer numbers on their side, two- and three-digit numbers set as tate-chu-yoko in one em of the column (kept whole when justified), upright glyphs centred on the column (tracked or justified too), point type's anchor on the first column's centre line); kinsoku applies to horizontal and vertical Japanese (Paragraph panel › Kinsoku Set, `text.setFormat {kinsoku}`: Hard, the default, keeps closing marks, iteration marks, the prolonged sound mark and small kana off the line start and opening brackets off its end; Soft lets 々, ー and small kana start a line as JLREQ's level 3 rules do; None turns it off), and justified Japanese lines spread their room between characters (not inside Latin words); Paragraph panel › Mojikumi Set (shown with Preferences › Type › Show East Asian Options, `text.setFormat {mojikumi}`): None or Line-end Punctuation Half Width (new type's default, as in Illustrator; older documents and imported text keep None) shares one half-em space between consecutive punctuation, sets a closing mark ending a line half width and an opening bracket starting a line flush with its start (a paragraph's first line at its first-line indent, JIS X 4051's principle in JLREQ 3.1.5), and puts a quarter em between Japanese and Latin letters or digits; Paragraph panel menu › Top-to-Top / Bottom-to-Bottom Leading measures leading from em box top to top (area type's first line touches the frame) or from baseline to baseline (new type in a Japanese interface starts top to top, with em box centre character alignment, #432); Paragraph panel menu › Burasagari None / Regular / Force (`text.setFormat {burasagari: "none"|"standard"|"forced"}`) hangs an East Asian comma or full stop (、。，．､｡) ending an area type line outside it, Regular (new type's default) when it doesn't fit and Force always (the rest of the line then fills the measure; closing brackets and Latin punctuation don't hang); Character panel menu › Character Alignment (with the East Asian options; `text.setFormat` or `text.setRangeStyle {charAlign}`) lines characters smaller than the largest on their line up on the Roman baseline, the em box top/right, centre or bottom/left, or the ICF (ideographic character face) top/right or bottom/left, from the font's BASE table or, without one, the average ink box of some ideographs and kana; Proportional Metrics (the same menu; `{proportionalMetrics}`) sets full-width glyphs on the font's proportional widths (OpenType `palt`) in horizontal type and upright glyphs on its proportional heights (`vpal`, shaped top to bottom; fonts without vertical metrics keep their cells) in vertical type, and Line-end Punctuation Half Width takes nothing more off the punctuation they re-spaced; Type ▸ Type Orientation switches existing text; caret, selection, hit testing and arrow keys follow the writing direction. Vertical text exports to PDF as real text and to SVG as outlines. The interface is available in Polish (`pl`): menus, panels, dialogs and messages, with one/few/many plurals; AI-drafted, native review pending (#1498).
