After scaling 12 pt type 2x, the Character panel still showed 12 pt and typing 10 pt gave 20 pt type. Character controls and text commands now work in document points: the size, leading and baseline shift shown and set are the stored ones times the text's scale along its em height, and horizontal scale includes the ratio of the transformed em axes. Rotation, reflection and shear stay in the transform, so text remains editable. Groups' text counts, keyboard increments use the same units, Shrink Text to Fit works in document tenths, and a collapsed transform rejects dimensional edits without touching the document. text.getRange takes effective: true for the document-space values.

Type parity
Last reviewed: 2026-10-10 · Last updated: 2026-10-10 · Change: minor (document-point character controls after object/group scaling, #1034) · Target: Adobe Illustrator 2026 (30.x)
Type is Illustrator's largest single area by use (weight 13 of 105 across "Type core" and "Type advanced" in
target-app-parity.md). This checklist lists the features one by one. Status is from the
code and tests (crates/text, crates/engine/src/cmd/type*.rs, textstyles.rs, crates/tools/src/text.rs)
against Illustrator's public documentation; estimated unless noted.
Summary
| Part | % | Remaining (h) |
|---|---|---|
| Type core (point, area, path type, Character/Paragraph, styles, threading, OpenType, fonts) | 80% | 14–19 |
| Type advanced (CJK composition, Middle Eastern, spelling, Touch Type, Retype, variable fonts) | 50% | 20–28 |
Checklist
| Feature | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Point, area and type-on-a-path type; vertical variants | done / partial | vertical point, area and path type have initial support |
| Area Type Options (rows, columns, inset, first baseline, Auto Size, Shrink Text to Fit) | done | |
| Threaded text, Fit Headline, Text Wrap | done | |
| Type on a Path effects and options; brackets | done | #429 |
| Character and Paragraph panels, styles with overrides | done | mixed-value display for differing paragraphs missing |
| Character size and horizontal scale after object/group scaling | done | #1034: fields and setters compensate the stored affine; point size follows the transformed em-height axis, not the glyph ink bounds. Range edits, keyboard increments, leading and baseline shift use document points; rotation, reflection and shear remain editable. |
| Preserve font sizes while scaling a group | missing | Separate enhancement; scaling still scales text with the other artwork. |
| OpenType panel, Glyphs panel, alternates | done | Highlight Alternate Glyphs preference unused (#394) |
| Font menu: samples, live preview, filters, favourites; font matching by any name; Find Font | done | #339 |
| Variable fonts | partial | named instances as styles; axis sliders missing |
| Colour fonts (OpenType SVG / COLR) | partial | |
| Every-line and Single-line composers | done | tuned by eye, never compared side by side |
| Hyphenation… and Justification… options | missing | |
| Optical Margin Alignment | missing | menu stub |
| Tab stops and leaders; Tabs panel | partial | Tabs panel and stops with leaders in the model (text.tabs.set); leader drawing not verified against the docs |
| Hidden characters (Show Hidden Characters) | done | type.hiddenCharacters |
| Spell check (Check Spelling, Auto Spell Check, custom dictionary) | missing | menu stubs; needs an openly licensed dictionary |
| Smart Punctuation, Change Case, Find & Replace | done | |
| Touch Type tool | missing | listed in the toolbar, not implemented |
| Retype (identify fonts in outlines/images) | missing | Illustrator's uses a cloud model |
| Snap to Glyph | missing | menu stub |
| Middle Eastern: bidirectional layout, Paragraph Direction | done | |
| Middle Eastern: Character Direction, digit types, kashidas, Middle Eastern composers, split caret | missing | |
| CJK: input methods (marked text, candidate window) | done | |
| CJK: kinsoku (Hard, Soft, None), Line-end Punctuation Half Width, tate-chu-yoko (auto) | done / partial | custom kinsoku sets, the Mojikumi Settings dialog and the other mojikumi sets missing |
CJK: ruby, proportional vertical metrics (vpal/palt), manual tate-chu-yoko |
missing | #966, #633 |
| Inline symbols in text | beyond Illustrator | not scored |
Revision history
| Date | Change | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-10 | minor | #1034: transformed character controls and regression coverage; preserving group font sizes remains a separate enhancement. Scores/hours unchanged at this rounding. |
| 2026-10-10 | major | First checklist, split out of the parity table's Type core and Type advanced rows |
