On desktop, the Print button on File › Print now renders the document to PDF, writes it to a fresh wordcraft-print-*.pdf in the OS temp folder and opens it without blocking the window: in Preview on macOS, and in the default PDF app on Linux/BSD (xdg-open, gio, ...) and Windows (via the `open` crate, already in the tree). The user prints from there through the system print dialog. If no viewer can be started, the status bar says so and the file is removed. Print files older than an hour are cleaned up off the UI thread at start-up and after each print. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Hardware parity with Microsoft Word
Last reviewed: 2026-10-10 · Last updated: 2026-10-10 · Change: major (first version) · Target: Microsoft Word (Microsoft 365) for Mac 16.113.4 and Word for Windows
Word is not a hardware-heavy app, but a few devices matter to its users: printers above all, then pens, microphones (Dictate) and speakers (Read Aloud), and displays.
Dimension: ~40% (estimated), 20–40 h to full (pen/ink hours are counted with the Draw tab in
target-app-parity.md).
| Hardware | Word | WordCraft macOS | Windows | Linux / BSD | Web | Parity | Hours |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printers: native print dialog, printer choice, copies, duplex, page ranges, tray, scaling | ✅ (WordPDE.plugin print-dialog extension on Mac) |
🟡 PDF opens in Preview to print (#286) | 🟡 PDF opens in the default viewer (#286) | 🟡 PDF opens in the default viewer (#286) | ✅ browser print dialog (#209) | 35% | 5–8 |
| GPU rendering, HiDPI/Retina, pixel-aligned text | ✅ | ✅ wgpu + vello_cpu rasteriser, whole-pixel text (#110, #165) | ✅ DirectX 12 default (#50); startup crash on Intel UHD (#170) | ✅ (soft text on KDE at some zooms, #140) | ✅ | 80% | 3–5 (bugs) |
| Multiple monitors, per-monitor DPI, remembered window position | ✅ | ✅ (#38, #76) | ✅ (winit DPI fix pending, #155) | ✅ | — | 85% | 1 |
| Pen / stylus: ink, pressure, eraser, ink to shape/math | ✅ (Draw tab, InkRender.bundle) |
❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | 0% | (Draw tab, 15–25) |
| Microphone: Dictate | ✅ (cloud speech service) | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | 0% | 8–15 + owner (speech model choice) |
| Speakers: Read Aloud | ✅ | ✅ system speech, speed, sentence skip (#190) | ✅ | 🟡 | 🟡 | 75% | 1–2 |
| Touch screens and touchpads: pinch zoom, inertial scroll | ✅ | ✅ pinch (#179) | ✅ | ✅ inertial scroll (#252) | ✅ | 85% | 0–1 |
