file.print, print.preview and print.setup took print settings only as
settings, so an agent had to read a preset with print.presets.list and
copy its settings into the call. They now take preset, the name of
[Default] or of a saved print preset in any case. The preset's settings
are used instead of the document's, settings applies over them, and
print.setup saves them with the document as one undo step. An unknown
name is a parameter error that lists the presets. The app's file.print
with params passes preset on to the engine.

Area type and type on a path whose text doesn't fit print without the
text past the end of the frame. text.create, text.createInPath,
text.setText and text.setStyle report it in their replies, but
file.print and print.preview gave no warning, and the Print dialog's
Summary showed none.
Both commands now add a warning that counts the area type and type on
a path that prints and doesn't fit, and gives their ids (the first 20,
then how many more). It counts the objects that the fallback font
warning counts: visible objects on the layers that Print Layers picks,
on the paper of the artboards or tiles that print. The walk that finds
the fonts of the printed type also collects these ids. Type in the art
of symbols, patterns, brushes, opacity masks and placed documents is
not named.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (Print, Fitting area type), docs/target-app-parity.md
(Type).
PDF, EPS, EMF/WMF and raster exports, and SVG exports that outline or
embed fonts, warn when type is set in a font family that isn't
available, but file.print and print.preview gave no such warning. A job
in a missing family printed in Source Sans 3 with no warning, and the
Print dialog's Summary showed none.
Both commands now add the exports' warning for the type that prints:
visible type that fits its frame or path, on the layers that Print
Layers picks, where what it paints (its effects applied) lands on the
paper of an artboard or tile that prints, inside its clipping paths.
The type in the symbols, inline graphics, patterns, scatter brushes,
opacity masks and placed documents of the art that prints counts too.
file.print reads the fonts before raster effects and Print as Bitmap
turn type into images, for PDF and PostScript output.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (Print), docs/target-app-parity.md (Fonts).
The Print dialog (Ctrl/Cmd+P) edits the document's print settings in the
sections General, Marks and Bleed, Output, Graphics, Color Management,
Advanced and Summary, with a preview of each printed page under the section
list (drag the art to move its placement). It drives print.setup,
print.preview and file.print; the preview pages now carry their transform,
printed area and trim box. Print sends the job's PDF to the chosen printer
through the new PrintService (lp on macOS/Linux, the shell print verb on
Windows, a hidden frame and the browser's print dialog on the web); without
one, or with PDF File, it saves the PDF. Done only keeps the settings.
UI commands file.print, print.printers and print.printerSetup.
