Right-to-left manual kerning was added to the glyph's offset, which
Character Rotation turns, so a rotated character with kerning moved
across the line (up at 90 degrees) instead of away from the next
character in reading order. The shift is now applied to the pen
position along the baseline, outside the rotation, and the rotation
turns the glyph about that moved pen position.
A manual kerning value on a character in right-to-left text changed the
space between it and the character before it in reading order, under
both Auto and Optical kerning. The shaped glyphs of a right-to-left
cluster now also move right by the value, so the space its advance
gains is at its left, between it and the next character in reading
order. Left-to-right text and tracking are unchanged.
Optical kerning no longer takes the left glyph's manual value off the
advance it measures, since right to left the value is in that glyph's
offset as well.
Area type made from the editing data's text document came in with one
row, one column, the 18 pt gutter and the Ascent first baseline,
whatever its frame kept. Each area frame now keeps its rows and columns,
the gutter between rows and the gutter between columns, and its first
baseline (Fixed, Cap Height, Leading or x Height) with its minimum,
scaled with the art's units. Each frame of a thread keeps its own, and a
key that is missing or can't be read leaves that option as it was. A
first baseline the frame keeps is no longer replaced by the fixed one
that matches the file's first line.
AreaOptions gets row_gutter (rowGutter, left out while unset), which
layout spaces rows by; text.areaOptions takes and reports rowGutter, a
gutter given alone sets both, and the Area Type Options dialog shows
Row Gutter.
Area type whose frame a wrap object covers sets no line and overflows.
Area type wrapped around a shape of 10,000 anchors sets its lines beside
the shape.
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.

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.
In typography and Illustrator, Shift+Enter inserts a soft return (forced
line break) rather than ending the paragraph. Text wraps to the next line
without applying paragraph-level spacing (space before/after, first-line
indents), list continuation lines keep their parent item without repeating
markers, and justified text does not stretch lines ending with a soft return.
- Forward active modifier keys for Enter in ui-egui shortcuts so the tool
detects Shift+Enter.
- Type tool inserts U+2028 (LINE SEPARATOR) on Shift+Enter.
- Text shaping and layout treat U+2028 as an invisible zero-advance control
character, breaking the line in point and area type.
- Paragraph spacing and list markers apply once per paragraph as intended.
Character Rotation turned a glyph's baseline shift and scaling with the glyph, and the Skew path effect slants a glyph's height away from the path's normal, so the x-height guide moved off the glyphs. Each positioned glyph now carries the transform that removes its Character Rotation (PositionedGlyph::unturned), and the guide goes through the glyph's x-height point placed without it, measured across the baseline. Snap to Glyph also takes Smart Guides being on in the tools, as View › Snap to Glyph already does in the engine.
