Character panel menu › Character Alignment gains ICF Top/Right and ICF Bottom/Left, and
`charAlign` takes `icfTop` / `icfBottom`: a character smaller than the largest on its line lines
up its ideographic character face's top (right, vertical) or bottom (left) with the big one's.
`FontFace::icf_margins` places the ICF inside the em box as the OpenType baseline tags define it
(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/baselinetags): `icfb` / `icft` of the
BASE table's horizontal and vertical axes against `ideo` / `idtp` (else the OS/2 typographic
descender and one em), for Han ideographs (else kana, else the first script). Without them, as that
page allows, the average ink box of some ideographs and kana; a face without ideographs uses its
em box.

Document symbols placed inline in a run of type (beyond Illustrator; like
InDesign inline anchored objects): TextRun.inline holds the symbol, scale and
shift; the run is one U+FFFC laid out as a glyph sized to the art, centred on
the cap height. text.insertInline and Type > Insert Inline Symbol; editing
keeps the graphic whole; canvas, SVG (<use>) and PDF draw the art; Create
Outlines turns it into a symbol instance.
Each paragraph has its own alignment, indents, spacing, hyphenation, tab
stops and paragraph style (TextObject.paras; para stays paragraph 0's, so
old files and readers work). Layout, editing (split/merge), threads, the
Paragraph/Tabs/Paragraph Styles panels, ranged text.setStyle/setFormat/
tabs/paraStyle.apply, SVG export/import and the fuzzers follow.
- The Paragraph panel menu's Burasagari submenu reads None / Regular / Force, as the reference
app's help names them (`text.setFormat` keeps "none"/"standard"/"forced", its scripting names);
Reset Panel goes back to new type's Regular.
- The full-width ，．and half-width ､｡ hang too; Latin commas and full stops never do, so Latin
text keeps its breaks and composer with new type's default (tested). The spaces after a hanging
mark stay on its line.

Type on a path could only be repositioned by Type on a Path Options, whose menu item sent
`{start: 0}`, so OK threw the text to the start of its path; nothing showed or dragged its
brackets. Now, as in Illustrator:
- Type on a path flows between a start and an end bracket (`TextKind::OnPath { end }`, None:
the end of the path or once round a closed one; `TextKind::path_span`). Flipping
(`TextObject::flip_on_path`) reverses the path keeping a closed path's first anchor and swaps
the brackets, so the type keeps its stretch of the path.
- Type on a Path Options gains Align to Path (ascender, descender, center, baseline) and
Spacing (glyphs spaced as if set that far above the path: closed up round the outside of
curves, opened up round the inside), laid out by the text engine.
- `type.pathOptions {start?, end?, flip?, effect?, alignToPath?, spacing?, ids?}` sets them in
one undo step; with none of them it queries. The menu item opens the dialog with the selected
type's Effect, Flip, Align to Path and Spacing (dropdowns for the choices) and leaves the
brackets alone, so OK as opened changes nothing.
- The Selection and Direct Selection tools show selected type on a path's path and its start,
centre and end brackets (`tools::pathtype`, with a bracket cursor): dragging the start or end
bracket sets where the type runs, dragging the centre bracket slides it along the path and,
across the path, flips it (Cmd/Ctrl held: it only slides). Each drag is one undo step.
- Arc-length measuring moved to `vectorcraft_geom::ArcPath` (layout, the tools and
`text.createInPath` share it). SVG export outlines path type whose end bracket, alignment or
spacing `<textPath>` can't express.
- docs/mcp.md documents the command and the drags; ROADMAP updated; dialog strings translated.

Characters of different sizes on one line all sat on the Roman baseline.
Japanese layout usually lines them up by their ideographic em boxes
instead (a 16 pt 第一回 next to 32 pt 雅楽 centred on it, not sitting on
its baseline). The Character panel menu now has Character Alignment:
- `CharStyle.char_align`: Roman Baseline (as before, the default), or the
em box Top/Right, Center or Bottom/Left: a character smaller than the
line's largest moves so that its em box top, centre or bottom lines up
with the largest's (the em box from the font's vertical metrics, else
0.12 em below the baseline to 0.88 em above it). Vertical type the
same across the column (top → right). Written only when not Roman
Baseline.
- `text.setFormat {charAlign: "romanBaseline"|"emBoxTop"|"emBoxCenter"|
"emBoxBottom"}`; the menu shows the selection's setting; catalog rows
in ja and zh-hant.
- Not yet: aligning on the ICF (average character face) top and bottom.

Japanese layout measures leading from the top of one line's ideographic
em box to the next (the right side, in vertical type), not from baseline
to baseline. The Paragraph panel menu now offers both:
- `ParaStyle.leading_model`: RomanBaseline (as before, the default) or
EmBoxTop. With EmBoxTop a line's leading is the space below it — the
next line's em box top is this line's plus its leading, and the next
baseline hangs from there by that line's tallest em box — and area
type's first line touches the top of the frame (its em box top on the
frame's top, at least Area Type Options' minimum). With baseline
leading a line's leading stays the space above it.
- Lines of one size are exactly as far apart either way; the models
differ for mixed sizes and for the first line of area type (fonts
whose ascent isn't the em box top: Hiragino's nearly is).
- The em box top comes from the font's vertical metrics (#343), else
0.88 em. Written only when EmBoxTop.
- `text.setFormat {leadingModel: "romanBaseline"|"emBoxTop"}`; menu items
Top-to-Top Leading / Bottom-to-Bottom Leading (checked as set); catalog
rows in ja and zh-hant.

Justify (last line left, centred or right) widened only word spaces, so
a Japanese line, which has none, stayed set solid and the right edge of
a justified Japanese paragraph was ragged by up to almost a character
(only Justify All spread the characters). Following JLREQ 3.8, the room
left on a line now goes to the gaps next to a CJK character, shared
with any word spaces:
- not inside a Latin word or a tate-chu-yoko block, nor next to a tab;
- lines without CJK characters are justified as before;
- vertical type too (the same code, in line space).

Shippori Mincho (assets/fonts, from #145) moves to storytold/craft-fonts. crates/text/build.rs
embeds the fonts of a craft-fonts checkout when CRAFT_FONTS_DIR is set (web: BIZ UDPGothic
Regular only) as vectorcraft_text::CRAFT_FONTS; unset, it is empty and Japanese falls back to the
installed fonts. Document text gets the Japanese faces after the bundled fonts (Mincho first); the
UI adds them at the end of every egui family (BIZ UDPGothic first), before ui_fonts' system-font
discovery. Release and FreeBSD CI builds check craft-fonts out at a pinned commit; packages carry
the fonts' OFL texts.

Opening, placing, pasting or importing a file, the font menus and MCP now find
the installed system fonts (Arial, Times New Roman...) in a fresh session, so a
file renders the same whatever happened earlier, and PDF import keeps the real
family names (Microsoft YaHei, not "Microsoft Ya Hei").
Root cause: FontDb only consulted the system font catalog, which stayed empty
until a CJK fallback or Character panel > Show System Fonts happened to scan
the font folders. Every lookup by family name (face, families, styles,
has_family) now waits for one cataloging scan per session: the app starts it
in the background, other processes run it on first use. The scan reads only
each file's table directory and name table (about 70 ms for 780 faces here,
instead of reading every font file whole), the catalog is indexed by family,
the family list is cached, and an installed style of a loaded family (a
bundled family also installed with more weights) loads when asked for.

Shipped code no longer unwraps, expects or panics: every one of the 124
unwrap()/expect()/panic!/unreachable! sites outside tests now handles the
failure (Result/Option, ?, let-else, defaults) and reports errors to the user.
- Lints: workspace clippy denies unwrap_used, expect_used, panic, todo,
unimplemented and unreachable; clippy.toml allows them in tests, and
integration tests, examples and testkit opt out explicitly.
- Safety net (vectorcraft_engine::guard): a panic in a top-level command rolls
the document back and returns EngineError::Internal; a panicking tool is
reset; the MCP server answers with an internal error and keeps serving; the
UI frame and each control request are guarded.
- APIs that hid failures now return them: Rendered::to_png/to_jpeg/to_webp
return Result (JPEG/WebP errors used to write empty files),
FontDb::face returns Option, Region::top returns Option.
- Fuzzing: engine/tests/import_fuzz.rs feeds garbage, hostile and mutated SVG
and PDF through import → render → export (30k cases locally, no panics).
- Docs: AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md rule, docs/development.md "Robustness" section,
README pointer and a PR template checklist.
