text.setStyle and text.setRangeStyle collected the fonts for their
warning after Missing Glyph Protection had run. A character the new font
has no glyph for keeps its earlier font, and when that font was not
available the warning named it, although the command did not set it.
protect_missing_glyphs now returns the byte ranges that kept their font,
and both commands leave those ranges out of the warning's fonts.
text.startList read a negative or fractional `at` as the end of the
text, so it could remove a typed list marker there and start a list.
The `start` and `end` of text.editRange, text.getRange,
text.setRangeStyle and the type shortcut commands given an `id` read
such values as the start or end of the text.
These now return "`at` must be a whole number" (naming the key) and
change nothing. Omitted or null keys keep their defaults, and 2.0 is
read as 2.
While the Type tool edits a frame of threaded text, Select All selects
the text of every frame of the story, highlighted in each frame. The
tool edits the first frame that holds text.
- Typing, Delete and Cut replace the whole story as one undo step
(`text.editRange` takes `clear`, the other frames whose text goes).
- Copy and Cut take the whole story (`text.getRange {id, story: true}`).
- Fills and strokes, `type.step`, `appearance.copyFrom`, the Character,
Paragraph, OpenType and text style panels, the Tabs panel's tab
stops, the font menus and the Justification dialog act on every
frame's text (`text.setRangeStyle {id, story: true}` styles them in
one edit).
- A caret move, a click or a word or paragraph selection ends it.
Select All in unthreaded type is unchanged.

The test moves from an inline module in cmd/textedit.rs to
tests/charstroke.rs and uses that file's helpers. docs/mcp.md says that
text.setRangeStyle gives a range's stroke a 1 pt weight as text.setStyle
does, and that its strokeWidth and strokeOptions lengths are in document
points.
A built-in Type Tools add-on (Object › Plug-ins › Type Tools › Text Tweaker…,
`addon.type.textTweaker`): size, baseline shift, rotation, horizontal or vertical
scale, tracking, leading or stroke weight go from a start value to an end value
along a straight ramp, an ease, a bow, a spike or at random with a seed, set as
the Character panel sets them, while the text stays live. One undo step, a
dialog with Preview, catalog rows in all 26 languages, docs/mcp.md and the
parity docs.

The OpenType panel gets a Position menu after Figure, with Default
Position, Superscript, Subscript, Numerator and Denominator. `numr` and
`dnom` join the extra features (the existing bits keep their indices),
so they round-trip through the stored tags and reach the shaper.
text.setStyle and text.setRangeStyle take `featureChanges`, which turns
features on or off on top of each character's own features in one
command and keeps every tag the list does not name. The Figure menu,
the Position menu and the checkboxes send it, so on a selection whose
characters have different features each character keeps its other
features. Reset OpenType Features still sends `features`.
Catalog rows for Position:, Default Position, Numerator and
Denominator; one line each in docs/type-parity.md and
docs/target-app-parity.md.
Applying a data set wrote a text value into the bound frame only, and the
thread's reflow then joined it with the other frames' old text. The art no
longer matched the row it had just applied, a captured row applied back lost
text, and a value bound to a later frame deleted the rest of the story.
- A text value bound to any frame of threaded text replaces the whole story,
which then flows through the frames again. `overflow` names the story's
last frame.
- Capture Data Set, Update Data Set and the Variables panel's match check
read such a frame as the whole story, frames joined in thread order.
- When any frame of the story is locked, the text value is skipped and
counted in `skipped`, and the story is not read.
- Two text variables bound in one story apply in definition order, as for
two on one object: the one defined last wins.

Baseline shift now moves a character in the line's frame, outside
Character Rotation, so a positive shift moves a character up from its
line at any rotation, and the character turns about its shifted pen
position. The Touch Type tool splits a drag into its part along the line
(kerning) and its part up from the line (baseline shift) at every
rotation; before, within about 6 degrees of a quarter turn it dropped
the cross-line part.
Characters that already combine a rotation with a baseline shift are
drawn in a new position. Their stored values do not change.
- text: glyph transform order, PositionedGlyph::pivot (the turning
point), tab leaders in the same order
- tools: Touch Type splits drags against the line's up axis and measures
rotate-handle turns about the shifted pen position
- engine: text.touchType description; dy is up from the line
- docs: mcp.md Touch Type paragraph, target-app-parity.md progress line
Character panel menu > Standard Vertical Roman Alignment, with Show East
Asian Options, is now a check item. It sets a new character attribute,
`standardVerticalRoman` (text.setFormat, text.setRangeStyle), off by
default and saved only when on. In vertical type the marked Latin
letters, digits and other characters that would lie on their side stand
upright one below the other, each in its upright cell. Spaces keep their
width and tate-chu-yoko blocks stay across the column. Horizontal type
keeps the mark and does not change. A combining mark shaped as its own
glyph turns with its letter, in Latin and CJK upright type alike.
Character Style Options labels the Character Alignment row "Character
Alignment" and gives Standard Vertical Roman Alignment its own checkbox.
Reset Panel turns the attribute off. PDF and SVG export place the glyphs
from the layout and need no change.
Character panel > Language sets the selected characters' language;
text.setFormat and text.setRangeStyle take `language` by name or tag
(unknown: an error), and character styles carry it. Document Setup's
language list gains Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Punjabi, Tamil,
Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Odia and Urdu, with catalog rows; the
Digits menu's numeral names move to a digits context, as Hindi is now
also a language name.
In vertical type, Alt+Down/Up (with or without Shift) steps kerning at a
caret or tracking of selected text, Alt+Left/Right steps leading, and
Alt+Shift+Right/Left steps baseline shift; Cmd/Ctrl makes five steps.
Horizontal type keeps its mapping. Selected type objects follow the same
rule when all of them are vertical, and a selection that mixes horizontal
and vertical type takes the horizontal mapping in one undo step.
Given a family and no font style, text.create and text.createInPath
kept the default Regular, and text.setStyle kept the text's previous
style, even when the family has no such style. A family whose styles
are numbered (Hiragino W3, W6) has no Regular, so the file named a
font that isn't installed and opened with Missing Fonts.
They now keep the style when the family has it, else take the
family's closest one, as text.setRangeStyle already did. Its rule
moves to `textedit::fit_font_style`, which the three commands share;
Graph labels styled through text.setStyle follow it too. A style the
caller names is kept as given.
The test builds a family with W3 and W6 and no Regular in code
(`test_fonts::numbered_font`), so no font file is added.
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.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
A paragraph split between two threaded frames took its first-line
indent again at the top of the next frame, and a list paragraph drew
its bullet or number there again. Each frame is laid out on its own,
and its first paragraph kept every paragraph attribute there.
A text object now marks a frame whose first paragraph continues from
the frame before (first_para_continues, not saved). The thread re-flow
sets the mark where each frame's share starts inside a paragraph and
measures each share with it, and a restored document reads the marks
from its saved text. Area type and type on a path set the first line of
such a paragraph as a wrapped line: no first-line indent and no bullet
or number. The paragraph after it takes the next number. Release
Selection, Remove Threading, Convert To Point Type and copies of a
frame clear the mark, so the first paragraph there has its indent and
bullet or number again. When Create Outlines, Expand or Expand
Appearance takes frames out of a thread, a frame that stays keeps the
mark only while it is threaded and the frames before it end inside a
paragraph. A frame whose mark changes lays out its first line again,
and when it is still threaded, its thread re-flows. When the outlined
frame is the last one, the text it has no room for is measured as the
frame lays it out: without the first-line indent when it continues a
paragraph, and with its numbers counted on from the frames before it.
The frame before it now takes exactly the text the last frame has no
room for. Duplicates, copies dragged in the Layers panel, the copies
that Release to Layers (Build), Release Opacity Mask and Edit Opacity
Mask make, and Draw Inside's clipping copy then have their cached
bounds computed again, as paste already does for pasted type.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
VectorCraft had no lists. A bullet could only be typed as a character,
and the tab after it did not stop at the left indent. The reference app
turns paragraphs into a bulleted list from the Paragraph panel, the
context menu and Type › Bullets and Numbering › Apply Bullets.
text.setFormat takes list ("none" or "bullet") and bullet ("none",
"dot", "dash", "circle" or "square"). The layout draws the bullet before
the first line of each list paragraph that has text, in the font, size
and color of its first character, and starts the text at the next tab
stop, with the left indent counted as a stop. Wrapped lines start at
the left indent, and type on a path draws the bullet too. In a
horizontal right-to-left list paragraph the indents are mirrored: the
bullet hangs at the right, and the wrapped lines start at the right
where the first line's text starts after the bullet. The bullet is not
a character of the text. A paragraph whose left and first-line indents
are both 0 gets 18 pt and -18 pt when it joins a list. Return continues
the list, paragraph styles carry it, Reset Panel turns it off, and the
native file saves it only when it is set.
The Paragraph panel has a Bullets button with a list of the five
presets, and Type › Bullets and Numbering › Apply Bullets and the
context menu run type.applyBullets. Live SVG text writes the bullet's
character, and SVG writes type on a path with bullets as outlines. DXF
writes the bullet as a TEXT entity of its own, and legacy .ai export
warns that bulleted lists are left out. The caret, selections, Touch
Type and Show Hidden Characters skip the bullet.
Live SVG text of horizontally scaled type now writes each tab in a
tspan of its own. Before, the characters before a tab shared its tspan,
and its textLength made a viewer stretch them across the tab's gap.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
Hyphenation... and Justification... already shipped upstream (#2310,
#2755). This ports the part of the archived fork PR #10 that upstream
lacked: a paragraph's Justification > Auto Leading now also sets
- the Leading the Character (and Properties) panel shows for Auto type,
blank where the selected paragraphs differ;
- the leading Alt+Up/Down (type.step) steps from, per paragraph (a run
spanning paragraphs is split so each takes its own);
- the lines Fill with Placeholder Text counts in area type.
ParaStyle::effective_leading mirrors the layout (exactly
CharStyle::effective_leading at the default 120%). Tests in doc, engine
and ui-egui; parity docs no longer list Hyphenation/Justification as
missing.

object.transformEach refused reflectX, reflectY, random and copy given
as text, but read strokes, corners, objects and patterns given as text
as the key left out. With Scale Strokes & Effects on,
{"scaleH": 200, "scaleV": 200, "strokes": "false"} scaled the stroke,
recorded an undo step and kept the params for Transform Again, which
repeated the call. artboard.rearrange, artboard.move and
artboard.duplicate read their patterns option the same way, and
artboard.setProps reads its patterns, strokes and corners options the
same way.
These commands now refuse such a value with "`<key>` must be true or
false" before they change anything. So do the other options and
numbers of artboard.setProps and artboard.move, the art of Duplicate,
Copy and Cut Artboard, the shape commands and path.create, path.close,
path.setHandle, path.moveAnchors, the Pencil, Curvature, Reshape
Segment and Blob Brush options, text.create, text.createInPath,
text.setRangeStyle, text.editRange, text.getRange, text.touchType,
text.areaOptions, type.step, the font size steps,
type.opticalMarginAlignment, type.systemLayout, type.fractionalWidths,
type.ruby, the symbol and swatch commands, the Appearance panel's
commands, the gradient and freeform gradient commands, Shape Builder,
Live Paint, Image Trace, the opacity of object.setProps, the radius,
sides and relativeRadii of object.setLiveShape, the reference point of
object.setBounds and the artboard of Align, Distribute and Distribute
Spacing. They refuse a number given as text with "`<key>` must be a
number, not <value>", and a gradient stop's tint with "stop <n>:
`tint` must be a number". A null still reads as the key left out.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
In a CMYK document, paint.setFill stores an RGB color as CMYK through
the color settings, but the other commands that take a color stored it
as RGB: text.create, text.createInPath, text.setStyle and
text.setRangeStyle colors, a shapeBuilder.merge hex fill,
paint.editGradient stops, freeform gradient points, gradient mesh
points, the Symbol Stainer's color, and swatch.new {colors},
swatch.newGroup, swatch.editGroup and swatch.edit. The Mesh tool sent
the fill as a hex value, so a CMYK fill came in as RGB.
These commands now store such a color through paint::new_color, as
paint.setFill does, and take keepModel to keep RGB (shapeBuilder.merge
inside its fill object). A color the swatch
or gradient already has keeps its model, so stops sent back with a
moved offset keep their colors (the Gradient panel's ramp and the
Gradient tool send keepModel), and a stop that names a process
swatch takes the swatch's color as it is, in paint.setFill gradients
too. Where the app copies an existing color, it keeps the color's
model: the Color panel's sliders for gradient stops and freeform
points, a swatch put on a stop or a point (the stop popover, Alt-click
in the Swatches panel, a drop on the Gradient panel's ramp), the fill
the Mesh tool gives a new point or the Symbol Stainer applies, and the
colors the Color Guide, Color Themes and Recolor Artwork save as
swatches.
swatch.new {color, mode} converted RGB into CMYK before converting it
into mode, so the New Swatch dialog in RGB mode stored #00ff00 as
R101 G176 B62 in a CMYK document. With mode, the color is now
converted once.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
VectorCraft listed a variable font's named instances as styles, but
type could not be set between or past them. The reference app's
Character panel has a Variable Font control that adjusts a variable
font's axes, such as Weight, Width and Slant.
Type now keeps Variable Font settings by axis tag
(CharStyle::font_axes, saved as fontAxes only when set). text.setFormat
and text.setRangeStyle take fontAxes: each value is clamped to its
axis's range, a tag the font has no axis for is left out, and null
goes back to the style's own setting. Another font or style clears
them, including one from a character style that does not set them. A
character style captured from type sets them, with {} for none.
text.fontList {family, style} lists a font's axes.
Layout, outlines, the substituted-glyph highlight and PDF export use
the font instanced at the settings, and neighboring runs at different
settings are shaped apart, as runs in different fonts are. SVG export
writes them as font-variation-settings, the wght setting as the weight
and the wdth setting as font-stretch, and embeds the font instanced
there; SVG import reads font-variation-settings back. Legacy .ai export
warns that the settings are left out.
The Character panel shows a Variable Font button for a variable font.
It opens a slider and a field for each axis the font does not hide,
labeled with the font's name for the axis, and screen readers get each
slider under that name. A drag is one undo step. Reset Panel leaves
the settings, as it leaves the font and style.
Missing Glyph Protection now keeps the settings and the font version
on the characters that keep their font; before, it kept only the
family and style. A character style applied or redefined with another
font now clears the old font's version, as text.setStyle does, unless
the style sets one. SVG export with embedded fonts warns when faces of
one weight, style and width share characters, which browsers then draw
in one of the faces.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md, docs/type-parity.md.
Type › Optical Margin Alignment was a disabled menu item. The reference
app's Optical Margin Alignment hangs Roman punctuation and the edges of
letters such as W and A outside the margins of every paragraph of a
type object.
type.opticalMarginAlignment (Type › Optical Margin Alignment) turns it
on or off for the selected type in one undo step, and the menu item is
checked while the type has it on. In every left-to-right paragraph of
point and area type, quotation marks, hyphens, full stops and commas at
a line's start or end hang wholly outside the margin there. Asterisks,
tildes, ellipses, en and em dashes, colons and semicolons hang by half
their width, and A, V, W, Y, v, w and y hang by a tenth of theirs. A
punctuation mark followed by a quotation mark hangs with it.
Left-aligned lines hang at their left margin, right-aligned lines hang
at their right margin, and centered and justified lines hang at both.
Lines break where they did before, and the space that justification
adds between glyphs leaves out the gaps next to a hanging punctuation
mark.
The setting is off for new type and for documents from before it, and
the type object saves it only when it is on.
The Type menu's checks for Optical Margin Alignment, Type Orientation
and the Type on a Path effects now read the type inside a selected
group, as the commands do.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md, docs/type-parity.md.
The toolbar listed the Touch Type tool (Shift+T), but choosing it did
nothing. The reference app's Touch Type tool moves, scales and rotates
one character of live type by dragging the handles of a box around it.
A click with the tool now selects one character and shows a box around
it. Dragging the box or its lower-left handle moves the character along
its line and up or down. The upper-left handle scales it vertically,
the lower-right handle scales it horizontally, the upper-right handle
scales it proportionally, and the upper-middle handle rotates it. A
character rotated by up to about 84 degrees follows the pointer too.
Near a quarter turn, a drag moves it only along its line. Escape
cancels a drag, and otherwise lets go of the character.
Each drag is one text.touchType command and one undo step. It sets the
character's baseline shift, scales and rotation, and moves it along its
line by changing its own kerning and the kerning of the character
before it, within the kerning range. The characters after it stay
where they are. Where the font kerned the character with its
neighbors, the two kerning values also keep the character in place
when it is only raised, scaled or rotated. The characters after it
stay where they were, or move by the change in its width when it is
scaled. The first character of a line and a right-to-left character
move only up and down. The type stays editable.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md, docs/type-parity.md.
The characters' stroke takes Align Stroke like an object stroke: CharStyle
keeps stroke_align (written only when not centred), stroke.set and
text.setRangeStyle strokeOptions apply align to type, and the Stroke panel
enables the buttons for type. Canvas, PDF and EPS draw it around the glyphs
through stroke_layer(); SVG keeps the text live and writes the aligned
stroke on the glyph outlines, clipped or masked. Type's visual bounds grow
with its character strokes.
The reference app resets the horizontal scale of type to 100% with
Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+X. VectorCraft had no command for it, and the chord
cut the selection: egui reports it as a Cut with Shift held.
type.resetHorizontalScale (Reset Horizontal Scale, default
Cmd+Shift+X) sets the horizontal scale to 100% in the text the Type
tool has selected, or else in all the text of every selected type
object, in one undo step. The value is the one the Character panel
shows, so a type object stretched to twice its width keeps 50% stored.
The vertical scale does not change. At a caret the command leaves the
text as it is. Type objects given in ids are reset in full, as
type.resetTracking does.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
No command held Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+Shift+. and Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+Shift+,, so the
chords reached Increase and Decrease Font Size (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+. and ,)
and changed the size by one Size/Leading increment.
Two commands, type.size.increaseByFive and type.size.decreaseByFive,
now hold the chords. They step the font size of the selected type, or
of the text the Type tool has selected, by five times the Size/Leading
increment (Preferences › Type). Agents reach them with press_key too.
Their labels have rows in every complete catalog.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
The reference app resets tracking and kerning to 0 with Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+Q.
VectorCraft had no command for it.
type.resetTracking (Reset Tracking and Kerning, default Cmd+Alt+Q) sets
tracking to 0 and kerning to Auto, which the Character panel shows as 0,
in the text the Type tool has selected, or else in all the text of
every selected type object. At a caret it resets only the kerning of
the character before it, where Alt+Left/Right kerns. It is one undo
step. The range logic of type.step moves into a shared type_ranges.
When a call gives ids, type.step and type.resetTracking change all the
text of those type objects even while the Type tool edits text, as
paint.setFill does. Before, type.step changed the Type tool's selected
text instead.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
