A variable font's COLR layers follow its instance, a colour glyph turns with type on a path, and the canvas draws an SVG glyph's art in its own colours and the type's fill.
The colour glyph cache keyed the text's colours by their 8-bit RGB look, so a fill that only looked like an earlier one (a grey and the same RGB grey, a spot colour and its process match) took that one's colour, and its separations. It now keys them exactly.
A system fallback search can add no new face because another lookup loaded it
first. Re-read the loaded faces regardless of the search's return value, so
concurrent first use does not produce a missing glyph and different advances.
Add an isolated generated-font regression with simultaneous cold lookups.
The original code missed 14 of 16 lookups; the fixed regression passed twenty
runs. Both previously failing Ruby tests pass unchanged.
Validation: Rust 1.98.1 cargo xtask ci, all 10 gates passed; workspace tests
9,635 passed, 0 failed, 14 ignored. Default Rust toolchain unchanged.
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.

As Illustrator's help describes (Filter fonts by classification, Font Technology › Variable), the font menu gets a Font Technology row whose Variable choice lists only the families with variation axes, together with the script, kind, favourites and search filters, and stays set from one opening to the next. A family is variable when any of its faces, loaded or scanned, has an `fvar` table, so a family installed as static files beside a variable one counts.
Spec: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/design-with-text/fonts-and-scripts/find-apply-and-adjust-variable-fonts.html
A PDF names fonts by PostScript name. When the font isn't installed at import, the importer
splits the name (`Honoka-Mincho` → family Honoka, style Mincho) and the document keeps that
pair. Installing the font later didn't help when its family name shares nothing with its
PostScript name (ほのか明朝): the pair stayed missing. FontDb::canonical now also looks the
pair up, joined, among the PostScript names, and answers with that face's own family and style.
- Strokes set to None no longer import as black 1px strokes.
- Underline and strikethrough are kept.
- Frame text starts at cap height; lines hanging out of a frame make it taller;
mixed-alignment artistic text lines up within its longest line; line breaks
inside a paragraph get no paragraph spacing.
- Table cell text taller than its cell is centred and stays visible.
- Outline effects on stroked shapes are drawn around the stroke.
- CMYK pixel layers go through the document's embedded CMYK profile; without
one, opaque layers stay CMYK.

tests_ruby::vertical_ruby_is_upright_to_the_right_of_the_column
checked that no reading glyph is more than 1 pt wider than tall. With
craft-fonts in the build, the kana come from Shippori Mincho, whose か
is 8.24 pt wide and 7.22 pt tall at 10 pt. The test failed on that
glyph although it stands upright. FreeBSD CI, which builds with
craft-fonts at a71c20e3, fails it on every branch since 14f804cd. It
also fails on Windows with that ref or an older craft-fonts checkout.
The test now compares each reading glyph's ink with its own outline at
10 pt. The same width and height mean the glyph is upright; a swapped
width and height mean it lies on its side. It also requires one
reading glyph whose outline is not square.
Its glyphs were put in visual order and then cut where the path ran out, which kept the text's end. Now the longest start of the text, in reading order, whose glyphs fit in visual order is laid out, as area type does with each line it breaks, by the same rules that place the line: steps where the glyphs sit, hanging punctuation and the path beyond the brackets.
Rows two PRs of the batch both changed came out twice in localization-parity, target-app-parity and type-parity; the newest of each is kept. prefs_dialog.rs is formatted.
#2027 gave vectorcraft-text and vectorcraft-engine a `bundled-fonts`
feature for an embedder that supplies every document font at run
time, but vectorcraft-ui-egui (and vectorcraft-mcp) named the engine
with its default features, so an embedder that hosts the panels got
the fonts whatever it asked for. Each now has a `bundled-fonts`
feature of its own, on by default, that turns the engine's on, so a
downstream user keeps the fonts unless it asks otherwise. For a
member to leave the engine's default features out, the workspace has
to declare the engine without them, as it already declares
vectorcraft-text; the crates that used the engine's default now ask
for the fonts: the three apps and vectorcraft-testkit. Off,
vectorcraft-text's copy of the fonts (3.4 MB) is left out; theme.rs's
own copies of five of them, the panels' interface faces, stay either
way.
Nothing the workspace builds changes: for every workspace member and
for the whole workspace, with and without dev-dependencies, for all
targets, wasm32-unknown-unknown, aarch64-apple-darwin and
x86_64-pc-windows-msvc, `cargo tree -e normal[,dev] -f '{p} [{f}]'`
resolves the same features for every package as on main, apart from
the new feature names (the engine's `default` no longer listed;
ui-egui's and mcp's `bundled-fonts` and `default`).
A test of the panels can't see their configuration without the fonts
(their dev-dependencies turn them on), so `cargo xtask ci`'s
`no-bundled-fonts` step now also reads that tree for
vectorcraft-ui-egui and vectorcraft-mcp: with their default features
it must show the fonts, and without them, for any target (a wasm-only
dependency too), it must not. Documented in docs/development.md
(Fonts › Leaving out the bundled fonts).

Illustrator links type in an area or along a path (https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/manage-text-area.html); until now only area type threaded here. Type on a path that overflows ends its line where its text stops fitting, so a story flows on from it, and its red out port, just past its end bracket, loads the Selection tool with the text as area type's does. A new frame threaded from it at a point is type on a path of its shape.
Optical Margin Alignment and Roman Hanging Punctuation left every
right-to-left paragraph of point and area type, and type on a path
whose first paragraph runs right to left, as it was: the quotation
marks, full stops and commas at the ends of its lines stayed inside
the margins.
A right-to-left line now hangs at the margins its alignment places it
against, as a left-to-right line does. Auto aligns a right-to-left
line at its right, so it hangs there. The line is read from right to
left: where it hangs at its left margin, a full stop and the quotation
mark after it that end the line hang together. In vertical type,
where the characters of a right-to-left paragraph run from the top
down, the pair is read from the top.
Type on a path whose first paragraph runs right to left hangs at its
brackets by the same rule. In horizontal type, Auto places it at the
end bracket, so it hangs there. On a closed path, its hang at the end
bracket gets the space between the end and start brackets before its
hang at the start bracket does, as in right-aligned type.
A justified right-to-left line of one word is spread between its
letters as they are drawn. The gap after each letter went to the
letter that follows it in the text, so the two leftmost letters
touched and the word ended one gap short of the right margin.

a_zero_width_joiner_in_devanagari_asks_for_a_half_form took any
fallback face whose GSUB script list holds dev2 or deva, and then
asserted that Ka takes its half form. A face with the script tag and
no half form for Ka failed the test, although the text was shaped in
the fallback face as the test checks.
The test now takes a fallback face only when the face lists dev2 or
deva and Ka + halant + ZWJ + Ssa set in that face alone starts with
Ka's half form and ends with Ssa. It prints SKIPPED when no installed
face does. A new test runs the filter on two faces built in code that
both list dev2. It takes the face with a half feature and passes
over the face without one.
Shrink Text to Fit scales area type down at layout time, and the canvas,
PDF export and the exports that write type as outlines draw it at that
size. SVG export wrote the live text at its stored font size, letter
spacing and baseline shift, so a viewer drew it larger than the canvas
does. Legacy .ai saves wrote the stored size, leading and baseline shift
into the text objects, DXF export took the TEXT heights from the stored
size, and the CSS Properties panel gave the stored font size, letter
spacing and line height.
The text crate's scaled, which the layout scales shrunk text with, is
now public. SVG export, legacy .ai saves and the CSS Properties panel
take the type's styles from it at the layout's fit scale, and DXF
export multiplies the TEXT heights by that scale. Positions and
textLength in SVG still come from the layout.

Optical Margin Alignment and Roman Hanging Punctuation hung punctuation
in point and area type only. Type on a path kept its first and last
glyphs inside its brackets with either option on.
When Optical Margin Alignment is on, or the first paragraph has Roman
Hanging Punctuation on, the glyphs at the ends of left-to-right type on
a path now hang outside its brackets by the same amounts, measured
along the path. The type hangs at the start bracket when its line is
placed there, hangs at the end bracket when the line is placed there,
and hangs at both when it is centered. Glyphs that hang past the end
bracket do not make the type overflow. On an open path a hang stops at
the path's end, and on a closed path the two hangs together take at
most the stretch between the end and start brackets. SVG export writes
type on a path that hangs as outlines, with a warning.

The reference app justifies Arabic text with kashidas, set per paragraph
with the Paragraph panel's Insert Kashidas list (None, Short, Medium,
Long, Stylistic). VectorCraft had no kashidas, so a justified Arabic
line was spaced out at its word spaces like a Latin one.
The Paragraph panel, with the Indic options shown, now has Insert
Kashidas. On a justified horizontal area type line that is shorter
than its measure, each Arabic word with joined letters gets one kashida
between its last pair of them, drawn as tatweels (U+0640) in the font
of the letter after it. The kashidas share the line's room equally,
each at most a quarter of an em (Short), half an em (Medium) or an em
(Long); a Stylistic kashida is a row of the font's own tatweels, up to
an em. The word spaces take the room the kashidas leave, so the line
keeps its width, and line breaks do not change. The letter after a
kashida advances over it, so the caret before that letter, a selection
of it and a click on it take the kashida in. None, the default, leaves
lines as they were.
In horizontal type that is not on a path, the caret in a letter drawn
with several glyphs (a letter with a vowel mark) is now placed by the
whole letter, as hit testing already measured it, instead of by its
first glyph.
text.setFormat takes kashida. The setting is saved with the paragraph
only when it is not None, paragraph styles carry it, and Reset Panel
sets it back to None.

The composer offered a break after a dash, a Thai word or a space even when
a space came next, so it could start the next line with that space. A
leading space makes the next line wider, and the composer could score that
break better. With mixed type sizes now composed in rectangular area type,
Thai text whose words come from a Thai font broke as "สวัสดีครับ" and
" ภาษาไทยง่าย". The composer now offers only the break after the spaces,
as the single-line composer ends its lines.
A paragraph with one character in a different type size was broken
with the Single-line Composer, even when Every-line was chosen: the
composer gave up whenever the paragraph's glyphs did not all have the
same line metrics (ascent, descent, leading, cap height, x height and
em box top).
In rectangular area type without text wrap, rows and columns included,
the width of a line does not depend on how far down the frame it is.
There the Every-line Composer now composes a paragraph whose
characters differ in line metrics (type size, font, leading or
vertical scale, or an inline graphic taller than the text), and each
line takes its height from its own text, as with the Single-line
Composer. Area type of another shape, or with text wrap, still breaks
such a paragraph with the Single-line Composer.

style_weight reads W0–W9 style names (Hiragino, Morisawa…) as their weight classes before the English words, so SVG and CSS export write font-weight 600 for W6, and nearest-style matching weighs them too.
Font services (NexusFont, Adobe Fonts) register faces with the OS without
touching font-folder mtimes; only re-asking the platform lister sees them.
Check every two seconds as well as on window focus, and test that path churn
is detected on the system font scan.

The Paragraph panel menu's Justification… was a disabled stub, and justified
lines stretched word spaces between fixed limits (80% to 150%).
Each paragraph now has Justification options: Word Spacing, Letter Spacing
and Glyph Scaling (Minimum, Desired, Maximum, in percent), Auto Leading and
Single Word Justification. Desired applies to every line; a justified line
fills its measure with word spacing first, then letter spacing, then glyph
scaling, each within its range, and past them its word spaces take the
rest. The Every-line Composer scores lines by that flexibility. Auto
Leading sets the leading of characters whose leading is Auto. A justified
line holding one word is spread between its letters (Full Justify) or
aligned left, centre or right.
The defaults are the documented ones (80/100/133, 0/0/0, 100/100/100, 120,
Full Justify), saved only when they differ. Because the default maximum
word spacing is 133%, justified paragraphs break differently than before;
the Every-line Composer's second pass is now unbounded for justified text
(it used to give up past four times the stretch and fall back to the
Single-line Composer, which the narrower default range would make common),
and lines that can't stretch at all are still refused.
text.setFormat takes wordSpacing, letterSpacing, glyphScaling ([min,
desired, max] or {min?, desired?, max?}), autoLeading and
singleWordJustification; Minimum ≤ Desired ≤ Maximum must hold or nothing
changes. Paragraph styles carry the options (New and Redefine capture
them), and Reset Panel resets them. Justification… opens a dialog
(ui.justification) with Preview; OK is disabled while a row is out of
order. Live SVG text places characters the options move, and a glyph that
Glyph Scaling scales is stretched to its width; PDF uses the glyphs'
transforms. Vertical type isn't glyph scaled; type on a path doesn't use
the options.

In type that holds right-to-left characters, Left and Right move the
caret through the visual caret stops (`caret_horizontal`). A cluster
drawn with no advance, such as a zero width non-joiner that the font
shapes as a glyph of its own, puts two stops at one x. A step kept the
stop with the lower byte, and the next step passed over the other one,
so the arrow keys never reached it. In Persian میخواهم laid out on
macOS, the caret could not be put between the non-joiner and خ with
the arrow keys.
Stops at one x are now visited one at a time in byte order. Going
right, the caret takes them in increasing order on left-to-right
glyphs and in decreasing order on right-to-left glyphs; going left,
it takes them in the reverse order. The end of a soft-wrapped line,
which the caret shows on the next line, is not one of those stops.
Where no two stops share an x, a step goes where it went before.
The Paragraph panel menu's Roman Hanging Punctuation was a disabled stub.
It is now a per-paragraph attribute: in a left-to-right paragraph of point
or area type with it on, the punctuation Optical Margin Alignment hangs
(quotation marks, hyphens, full stops and commas wholly; asterisks,
tildes, ellipses, en and em dashes, colons and semicolons by half) hangs
outside the margin when it starts or ends a line, on the same sides
(left-aligned lines at their left, right-aligned at their right, centered
and justified at both); letters don't hang. With Optical Margin Alignment
on as well, letters hang too. East Asian punctuation keeps hanging only
through burasagari. The layout shares Optical Margin Alignment's hanging
code, given the share of each glyph that hangs.
text.setFormat takes romanHangingPunctuation; it is off by default, saved
only when on, carried by paragraph styles (New and Redefine capture it)
and turned off by Reset Panel. The panel menu item is a checkbox enabled
with type selected.

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.

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.
