- packaging/linux/package.sh: one verify_sha256 helper replaces the four
repeated printf|sha256sum -c pipelines.
- packaging/macos/package.sh: stapler_retry copies its positional
arguments into locals before use.
- swatch_options: f64::from(v) instead of v as f64 (same value; the
argument is an f32, so the conversion stays).
Highlight Substituted Fonts is now a preference in Preferences › Type,
next to Highlight Alternate Glyphs, on by default and saved with the
other preferences (`prefs.set highlightSubstitutedFonts`). The canvas
reads it through `RenderOptions::highlight_substituted_fonts` for every
open document; a document's own setup no longer decides it. File ›
Document Setup no longer shows the checkbox and keeps Highlight
Substituted Glyphs.
A file saved with Document Setup's Highlight Substituted Fonts off now
shows the pink highlight when it opens, while the preference is on.
The file still opens with the stored value, and saving it again keeps
that value.
`document.setup` no longer reports `highlightSubstitutedFonts`. It
ignores the key and adds a `warnings` entry that names `prefs.set` to
its reply, so an older reply passed back still applies its other keys.
The raster cache of type under a raster effect now also redraws when
Highlight Alternate Glyphs changes.
Pointer Events report a press of a pen's eraser end as the eraser button
(button 5). The browser build ignored that press. It now presses like the
tip, and the web runner writes the pen's samples into a stylus feed with
the end they came from, so the canvas selects the Eraser tool before the
press and the press erases. The next press of the tip selects the tool
used before, as on Linux and macOS. A hovering pen keeps the end it last
pressed with, since Pointer Events report no end while a pen hovers. A
mouse or finger takes the pen out of the feed; a palm rejected while the
pen presses does not.

With Windows Ink, winit reports a pen as a touch and drops its pen
flags, so on Windows the eraser end of a pen draws with the current
tool. The message hook that reads the barrel button now also reads
each pen pointer message's POINTER_PEN_INFO and writes the pen's
pressure and end into the canvas's pen feed: PEN_FLAG_INVERTED or
PEN_FLAG_ERASER is the eraser end. The canvas then selects the Eraser
tool and the tip brings back the tool used before, as on Linux and
macOS. A pen leaving detection range or the window, another pointer,
or a mouse message that Windows did not make from a pen or a touch
clears the feed, so a mouse presses fully.
On a curved path each glyph was placed rigidly (turned to the tangent at
its middle), so its baseline ends stood off the curve and neighbours
turned by different angles: in scripts whose letters join, every join
opened into a notch. Measured with Arial on circles: at 29 pt on a
radius of 110 pt, 0.64 pt at the baseline and 1.24 pt at the height of
the joining stroke (a quarter of the size); 14.7 pt at 72 pt on a radius
of 60. Placing glyphs on the chord alone closes the baseline but leaves
about h (a_i + a_{i+1}) / 2R above it (0.71 pt here), so joined glyphs
are bent instead.
- Shaping marks each glyph of a segment whose script joins (Arabic,
Syriac, N'Ko, Mongolian, Adlam and the other cursive scripts), by the
segment's script, so a word bends as a whole.
- With the Rainbow effect such a glyph's outline is mapped point by
point: pen space (x, y) -> P(s + x step/advance) + (y + rise) N there,
each segment cut into pieces short enough for 0.01 pt (capped). A
glyph the path doesn't turn under stays exactly as it was; Skew, 3D
Ribbon, Stair Step and Gravity, vertical type, inline art and colour
glyphs are unchanged. `PositionedGlyph::bend` records it; `xf` stays
the straight glyph for the caret, hit testing and tools.
- PDF export draws bent glyphs as outlines and writes them again as
invisible text where they stand, so they can be selected, searched
and copied. SVG export outlines them (right-to-left type already was),
never as a <textPath>, and labels the group with its text
(role="img", aria-label) for screen readers and search.
Tests (crates/text/src/tests_path_joins.rs; installed Arabic font, skip
without one): the gap at the baseline and at join height is <= 0.01 pt
at 12, 29 and 72 pt on radii 60, 110 and 300, on both sides of the
path, with finite outlines; Latin on a curve and joined type on a
straight path are byte-for-byte what they were; the chord-only
prediction is checked.
vectorcraft-cli perf (load average 43 before, 34 after: not trustworthy;
the synthetic document has no type on a path, so bending doesn't run):

Draw freeform paths with the Pencil tool says a small star appears on
the Pencil when it is ready to draw a freeform path, and Reshape paths
with the Pencil tool says the star disappears over a selected path the
drag reshapes. The Pencil cursor had no star.
- New Cursor::PencilNew: the Pencil's crosshair with a small star where
the closing cursor has its ring. It becomes the crosshair with Use
Precise Cursors and as a system cursor.
- The Pencil shows it before a press when neither find_extend nor
find_redraw (the lookups the press uses, within Edit Selected Paths)
finds a selected path under the pointer. Over such a path and while a
stroke is drawn, the cursor has no star.

Art Brush Options' Width had no pen tablet option, so an art brush
drew at one width whatever the pressure. The Width row now has a
Fixed or Pressure menu and a second width. With Pressure the art is
Width wide at the lightest pen pressure and the second width at the
heaviest, following the pressure the Paintbrush recorded along the
stroke, and half way between the two on a stroke drawn without
pressure. brush.options takes width_mode and width_max; a brush
without them is saved as before.
Pencil Tool Options has a Live curve fitting checkbox, on by default.
With it off, the path shown while a Pencil stroke is drawn joins the
stroke's points with straight segments, and the release fits the curve
at the Fidelity, as it does with the option on. Choosing another tool
while a stroke is drawn also keeps the stroke fitted. The option is
saved with the tool's other options.
path.freehand takes fit (true by default): with fit false, a new path,
a continued path and a redrawn section join the points with straight
segments.
The reference app detects lists typed as 1., 1), A. or A), and makes
custom bullets from *, #, > or + followed by a space. In VectorCraft
the characters stayed as text.
When the Type tool types a space on its own after one of these at the
start of a paragraph in no list, the typing so far becomes one undo
step. The new command text.startList then removes the typed characters
and the space and makes the paragraph a numbered list in 1, 2, 3 or
A, B, C, or a bulleted list with the filled dot. A paragraph with no
indents gets the 18 pt hanging indent. One Undo puts the characters
back as text with no list, and the caret goes on after them; Redo
removes them again. The same characters later in a paragraph, list
characters pasted in one piece with the space and a paragraph already
in a list start nothing.

The test checked only that each outline had a dark pixel, which a line
two or more pixels wide also has. It now counts the dark pixels across
the path, a stem of the type and the guide, and expects one, with and
without supersampling.
