The Stroke panel enables Align Stroke while the Type tool edits text, and
styles the selected characters. docs: mcp.md (stroke.set and strokeOptions
align on type), type-parity and target-app-parity rows.
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.
With type selected, stroke.set (without an item) gives every run the
weight, cap, join, miter limit and dashes instead of adding an object
stroke; while the Type tool edits text, the Stroke panel styles the
selected characters through text.setRangeStyle `strokeOptions`, and the
panel reads the first run (or the selection's style).
CharStyle gains stroke_cap, stroke_join, stroke_miter_limit and
stroke_dash (defaulted, skipped when default). Character strokes and
object strokes on type now draw through the shared stroke geometry on
the canvas, in PDF and in SVG (live text writes cap/join/miter/dash and
tspans reset what the first run sets; object strokes are drawn on the
glyph outlines), so every stroke option, opacity and blend applies.
Outlines, the Eyedropper and graphic styles keep the options.
