+  with no path under it, to the path at the other end, and moves, scales, turns and reflects with

+  VectorCraft's own rule. When the pointer is beside the two points (the nearest point of the
+  line through them lies between them) or on that line, the dimension is aligned. When the
+  pointer is past either point, the line through the points and the perpendicular through that
+  point divide the area beyond it into two quarters, one on each side of the line. The quarter
+  that contains the direction straight up or down from the point gives the horizontal distance,
+  and the quarter that contains the direction straight left or right gives the vertical distance.
+  A click within 8 pixels of the second point, or of where the pointer was for the second click,

+  the orientation of a linear dimension (`aligned`, the default, `horizontal` or `vertical`),
+  offset and style; returns the group id and label. `offset` is the distance of the dimension
+  line from the first point: along the left normal of a → b for an aligned dimension, downward
+  for a horizontal one and leftward for a vertical one. A negative offset goes the other way.
+- `dimension.update`: restyle or move existing dimensions, or change the orientation of linear
+  ones. A new orientation keeps the line on the side of the points it was on. An update that
+  changes nothing records no undo step.
 - `dimension.applyToAll`: every dimension takes one dimension's style, in one undo step.

Layout now measures tracking and manual kerning in thousandths of the em as the scale draws it (see type-parity.md, same date); they were added at the full em, so such type drifted from the page letter by letter. A `.ai`'s page writes that type's character spacing as the tracking itself in a text space as wide as the scale, which PDF scales by it (ISO 32000-1 §9.4.4). In 224 users' files (used locally, never committed), 93 render differently. Of the 25 whose render moved by more than 1% of its pixels against the page, 23 came closer. The note on the type differing from the page shows a smaller share in 5 files (11.0% to 4.4% at most) and a larger one in 2 (by 0.2 to 0.3 points). 9 more envelopes of type open live (113 to 122 of 203, none fewer in any file), and no file switched between its layers and its PDF part. PDF import: the tracking of horizontally scaled type is the file's `Tc` in thousandths of its size (it was that times the scale), the glyphs where they were (test `tests::text_placement::character_spacing_in_horizontally_scaled_type_is_the_files_tc`). SVG export writes the letter spacing in thousandths of the font size it writes (the vertical scale), so type scaled uniformly keeps its spacing in a viewer (test `text_layout::spacing_in_uniformly_scaled_type_takes_the_scale`); tracked type scaled horizontally alone still differs a little there, as before. A `.ai` saved here writes the same values as before; VectorCraft now lays them out as the file's own PDF part draws them. Scores and estimates unchanged. |

A second try is only made while more checks are left than there are envelopes of type and warped text objects still to come. Type with strokes in an envelope with Distort Appearance on is also tried mapped from its box with strokes, where the size the file saves for it doesn't already give that box (a rule chosen by measuring real files). An envelope's grid (warp, mesh or top object) now reads its way round from all its rows and columns, not its first row alone: a mesh bent far round (its end columns leaning more than halfway over) reads the way it runs, not turned a quarter round, and a grid symmetric about its middle reads the same wherever it is on the page.

They were left at a miter join with a limit of 10 whatever the file said, so type the file strokes with round joins, or with the usual limit of 4 or less, drew spikes at its sharp corners, some many points long. In users' files, used locally and never committed, the page strokes the type with the cap, join and miter limit these keys give; no file had a bevel join, which is read by the same numbering.

+| 2026-11-10 | minor | `.ai` and EPS import: an envelope of type (a warp, a mesh or a top object around type) kept its drawn art, its type hidden, because the type is laid out from the text document only after the layers are read. It now waits for that: its text slots get their type, and where VectorCraft's own envelope of that type draws as the drawn art the file saves (the same check and budget as other envelopes, seen on white and on black), it opens live in the drawn art's place, its type editable in Edit Contents, and the hidden copy goes. As with other live envelopes, the layers with one are then compared with the page, which weighs the envelope as the art it draws (not as type laid out again, which the comparison allows more for), and when they don't draw as it the drawn art and the hidden type are put back. Layers used though they don't draw as the page (the editing data trusted, or the objects that differ coming in as the page's art) leave envelopes of type their drawn art and hidden type too. A `.ai` whose layers would open alone, without its PDF part, imports the PDF part to compare them with, and should they still not draw as it, or should no envelope of type open live, they open alone as before, with the envelopes' drawn art. Type in a font that isn't available, slots without type of their own (threaded, bound to a text or a visibility variable, a wrap object, type a look draws), envelopes in a symbol's or a pattern's art, and envelopes that draw differently keep their drawn art, with the note (#3179).

Without them, type in a named instance such as Bold opened at the font's default instance in the app that opens the file.

White contents that drew somewhere else passed it and opened live in the wrong place (white warped type off its banner, in users' files).

+| 2026-11-10 | minor | PDF import: an image in a DeviceN space of one colorant opens as a Separation image does (#6314): a grayscale image of its tints colorized by its ink. One of two or more colorants that are all process plates (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, and the ink `None`) opens as a CMYK image, each colorant's tint in its plate and its Decode array applied (8 or 16 bits a sample; one that can't be read, such as a JPEG, opens in RGB with the CMYK images' warning). Both used to open as RGB images, losing their inks. A DeviceN image that mixes a spot ink with other colorants, such as a duotone, still opens as RGB: an image holds one ink or the process plates, not both (#6348).

+| 2026-11-09 | minor | `.ai` import: an image whose color space `XC` sets to one ink (`n [c m y k /DeviceCMYK (name) /Separation] XC`, or an RGB alternate) opened as a gray RGB image: its samples, the ink's tints (255 at 100 %), were read as gray levels, so the tints drew inverted and the ink was lost. It now opens as a grayscale image of the tints, black at 100 %, colorized by the ink at 100 %: a spot swatch, a process plate's CMYK color (no swatch of its name), or Registration; the ink's color counts toward the document's color mode as a fill's does. Its alpha channel becomes its opacity mask, a reduced large image's too: a colorized image reduced to fit the limits (an image mask included) now keeps its alpha as an opacity mask rather than in its pixels, as at its full size. 8-bit and 1-bit samples, binary or in hex comment lines.

It used to open as an RGB image, losing the ink, and Fill and Recolor Artwork didn't reach its color. Its soft mask or mask becomes its opacity mask, as a CMYK image's does. The ink is found by the image's color space (kind, colorant name and tint transform), once per image. As with any colorized image, where it lays no ink the art under it shows, where the RGB image was opaque white. The ink `None`, which paints nothing, an ink whose color can't be told, an image inside an alpha soft mask, inline images and DeviceN images open as before; samples that can't be read (data cut short, a decoder's output of another layout) open in RGB with a warning, and the ink gets no swatch.

It used to open as an RGB image with the color in its pixels: Fill and Recolor Artwork didn't reach the color, a spot color lost its ink, and the same mask painted again in another color took the first color, in an uncolored pattern's cell too. Its color now counts toward the document's color mode, as a fill's does. A spot color is found by its color space, as a fill's is when the page's walk names no ink: two spaces of other inks with the same alternate and tint transform can't be told apart, and the color comes in as RGB. Inside an alpha soft mask, or painted with a pattern, a mask opens as before.

 | 2026-11-07 | minor | EPS and `.ai` editing data: when the page's type is matched with the text objects, a glyph the page's font encoding names with a private-use character (a ligature such as `uniE028`, which says nothing of the letters it stands for) splits the page's word there, and the pieces are matched as words. A ligature in "Quality" no longer reads "Qualy" against the text object: four users' Illustrator 30 EPS files (used locally, not committed) lose the false "some of the page's type has no text object" note, their renders unchanged |
 | 2026-11-07 | minor | EPS import: a CID-keyed font over a predefined Unicode CMap the file doesn't define (Adobe's public CMap resources named `Uni…-UCS2`, `-UTF8`, `-UTF16` or `-UTF32`, `-H` or `-V`: [cmap-resources](https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/cmap-resources)), found by its `CIDFont-CMap` name (`/Ryumin-Light-UniJIS-UCS2-H findfont`, the usual name of a CID-keyed font: its CIDFont's and CMap's names joined by a hyphen) or made with `composefont`, sets its codes' characters as live type in the font of its CIDFont's name, and `stringwidth` measures them. Such type was read as Latin-1 codes, or stopped the program at `composefont`. Vertical CMaps are set horizontally, and the show operators' extra spacing isn't kept; CIDFonts over other CMaps the file doesn't carry still draw nothing, with a warning. |

Such codes took font 0's CID 0 and drew nothing. |

 Raster rendering fits and preflattens curved stroke outlines more tightly only below four times the raster tolerance, retaining thin-band coverage without changing stroke weight or vector export geometry. Current cached character/object outlines, cropped long strokes, gradient clips and effect rasters share the helper; cropped-region reuse and guarded flattening remain.

 ## G9 Illustrator `.ai` and EPS files from real users
 
+- **Done (#6388, 2026-11-10):** a saved `.ai`'s text document names, for type in a variable font, where in the font's design space it is set (each axis, the named instance's or the run's own setting) and the font's version, so Montserrat Bold no longer opens as the font's default instance (Thin); two settings of one font are two fonts of the set. Test `ai_editing::tests::variable_font_instances_name_their_design_space`. The PDF part's font naming (#4548) remains with craft-libs. Estimate unchanged.

+- **Narrowed (#6165, 2026-11-09):** editable PDF import preserves explicit ActualText once, with empty/nested spans, authored order and glyph advances covered by `crates/pdf/src/tests/actual_text.rs`. One replacement uses the first placed glyph's line/style; exact redistribution across lines/styles and general mixed-direction layout remain. Input is bounded to depth 128 and 64 KiB encoded per accepted replacement. This does not close G9's broader `.ai`/EPS gaps or change its estimate.

 - **Done (2026-11-09):** the fonts an EPS carries draw their glyphs instead of being set as type in an installed font: composite (Type 0) fonts with the 8/8 mapping, plain Type 42 fonts (characters from their glyph names or character map, widths from the font), CID-keyed fonts over CMaps (Type 0 and Type 2 CIDFonts, CIDFonts in a FontSet's Compact Font Format data, base-font CMaps, named CIDFonts over predefined Unicode CMaps set as type) and embedded Type 1 fonts; the show operators' spacing along the baseline is kept as tracking, `kshow` included. Each step is charged to the interpreter's budgets. Hand-written test files only (no corpus file uses these fonts); scores and estimates unchanged. This narrows G9.
 - **Done (2026-11-06):** an EPS page that paints its gradients as rows of abutting one-colour strips imports them as linear gradients, so the seams between strips no longer show and an Illustrator EPS drawn that way keeps its layers instead of opening as its page.

+
+A filter whose manifest lists the `commands` permission and names commands in `commandAllowlist` runs those commands
+on the document while it runs (#2186). It names each command by its id, as `command_list` lists it, and passes its
+arguments as a JSON object, the params the command takes from any request:
+
+| Import | Signature | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| `vc_call` | `(id, id_len, args, args_len) -> i32` | Runs the command whose UTF-8 id is at `id` with the JSON object at `args` (`args_len` 0 means `{}`). Returns `0` when it ran, else a negative code. |
+| `vc_call_result` | `(out, out_cap) -> i32` | The JSON result of the last call that ran: its length in bytes. When it fits in the `out_cap` bytes at `out`, its bytes are copied there; otherwise nothing is copied. `-10` when no call has a result, `-1` when the buffer doesn't lie inside the module's memory. |
+
+`vc_call` returns `-1` when the id or the arguments don't lie inside the module's memory, `-2` when they are not UTF-8,
+`-3` when the arguments are not a JSON object, `-4` when `commandAllowlist` doesn't list the id, `-5` when no command
+has the id, `-6` when a plug-in may not call the command, `-7` when the command can't run now (nothing is selected),
+`-8` when the command ran and failed, `-9` when a limit below is passed, and `-11` when nothing can be called (from
+the module's start function, in a run that isn't a filter's run on a document, or after a call in the run failed).
+
+- Every code also fails the run, whatever the plug-in does next, and the error names the call and why it failed. The run's calls and its output are one undo step, named after the plug-in or its command. A run that fails,
+  traps, runs out of budget or is canceled leaves every document, its selection and its history as they were.
+- Each call runs on the document the run is for, with its params checked as any request's are, and sees what the calls
+  before it changed: a `select.all` followed by `object.move` moves everything. The filter's own input is the one it
+  was given when the run started; an edit still in progress (typing, or a shape being drawn) is kept as its own undo
+  step before that input is made.
+- A plug-in never calls a command that reads or writes a file or folder, uses the clipboard, changes preferences or
+  the view, runs a script, an action or a plug-in (a `plugin.*` command, or arguments naming one, such as an
+  `effect.apply` of `plugin.<id>`), opens, closes or switches documents, or undoes or redoes, whatever its manifest
+  lists. The same goes for a command that changes a tool's options, keeps a drag's state or adds font names for the
+  whole app, and for a command VectorCraft adds later until it has been checked for plug-in calls. Installing a
+  manifest that lists such a command is refused, and the error names it; `plugin.inspect` lists them as
+  `refusedCommands`.
+- A call whose arguments hold a file or folder key (`path`, `paths`, `file`, `files`, `folder`, `folders`, `dir`,
+  `directory`, `destinationFolder`, `sourceFolder` or `url`) at any depth, such as an effect's `textureImage.path`,
+  returns `-6`; only a key that names part of the document in that command, as its own param, is let through. A
+  command a plug-in calls can't read or write any file or folder.
+- An id in `commandAllowlist` that no command has installs, so a plug-in can list a command a later version adds;
+  `plugin.install` and `plugin.inspect` list such ids as `unknownCommands`, and calling one returns `-5` (`-6` without
+  `doc.read`).
+- Without `doc.read`, every call of a listed id fails with `-6`, since a command's result describes the document.
+  Without `doc.write`, a call that changes the document fails with `-6`.
+- These limits are VectorCraft's own values: at most 1,000 calls a run, 8 MiB of arguments or result a call and 64 MiB
+  of arguments and results a run. Each call costs 10,000 instructions of the run's budget, plus one for every 64 bytes
+  of its arguments and its result, and the run checks Cancel and its time budget before and after each call.
+- A filter that calls commands runs on the app's main thread, so it can't ask for a heavy budget: a manifest with
+  `commandAllowlist` and `budget: "heavy"` is refused.

Independent group heights and flyout widths persist in workspaces; saved heights override content fitting while untouched heights still fit content. Shared panel button bars and the Glyphs font row stay at the bottom after enlargement; the Artboards list grows into the extra space.

 **PR #3273 revision — 2026-11-04:** Thin curved stroke coverage ported to the current raster-only cache, cropped-long-stroke and effect paths with guarded flattening; vector export geometry unchanged. Scores and estimates unchanged.
 
 Group Selection keeps an already selected component selected during a drag; a completed click still adds its next enclosing group. The current Direct Selection click/release machinery is shared, preserving compound-member picks, Shift deselection, isolation and masked-art dragging. Outline Stroke continues to preserve all original fills, including open contours; the change does not remove fills. Regressions: `group_selection_distinguishes_selected_leaf_drags_from_clicks` and `outline_fill_and_stroke_move_independently_with_group_selection` cover tool events, independent component movement and Undo/Redo. Scores and estimates unchanged.

+## Clipping groups, blends and symbol instances
+
+Every 3D effect (Extrude & Bevel, Extrude & Bevel (Classic), Inflate, Rotate and Revolve) also applies to a clipping
+group, a blend or a symbol instance, alone or inside a group or layer. The help page says that effects apply to
+objects, groups or layers ([Apply and modify effects](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/special-effects-styles/apply-filter-effects/apply-and-modify-effects.html)),
+that a clipping mask hides everything outside its shape ([Clipping masks](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/clipping-masks.html)),
+and that a blend is treated as one object ([Blending objects](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/blending-objects.html)).
+How the solid is built from each is VectorCraft's own rule: it is built from what the object shows, as a group's
+solids are ([Groups](#groups)), turned about one shared axis.
+
+- A clipping group (or a layer with a clipping mask) builds from its art inside the clipping path: each shape's fill
+  area cut to the clip, and each stroke's outline cut to the clip and filled in the stroke's paint. The clipping path
+  draws no solid. A clipping group inside another keeps what both clips show. A clip that shows none of the art
+  leaves nothing to build, and the effect is refused.
+- A blend builds from its key objects and its steps, each in its own paint, in their order.
+- A symbol instance builds from its symbol's art where the instance places it. Redefining the symbol reshapes the
+  solid. An instance of a symbol that is not in the document, a symbol that holds an instance of itself, or art
+  nested more than 64 levels deep is refused.
+- Inside a 3D group, the geometry effects of a clipping group, a blend or a symbol instance reshape the art it shows,
+  as a group's do. Inside a clipping group, a group's geometry effects reshape its members before the clip cuts them.
+- Art whose symbol instances, blends and clipping groups take more than 262,144 objects to go through (counting
+  hidden objects, and a symbol's art once for each instance that shows it) is refused.
+- The objects stay live: editing the clipping path, the blend's keys or the symbol reshapes the solid.
+- An image is refused, alone or in a group: trace it first with Object › Image Trace › Make. The help page routes
+  images to 3D through Image Trace ([Create 3D vector artwork](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/special-effects-styles/create-3d-graphics/create-3d-vector-artwork.html)).
+  A hidden image in a group is left out like any hidden member, and so is an image in a clipping group whose bounds
+  lie wholly outside the clipping path's bounds, when the image has no visible fills or strokes of its own and

+  These limits are VectorCraft's own values. Before any point is sampled, Extrude & Bevel counts the faces its walls,

+  takes fewer pieces, down to 4 (a curve that needs fewer takes fewer). A shape that does not fit at 4 pieces a

+  sampled outline within the sampling tolerance above, one curve for each sampled edge through its two sampled
+  points, so the cap and the walls next to it draw the edge they share as the same curves. The edges between two bevel steps or two wall slices, a
+  piece of curve that does not fit after 8 halvings, an edge of a twisted wall cut into pieces, and the curves
+  past 1,048,576 for one solid stay straight. The tolerances and limits are VectorCraft's own values. Inflate's
+  faces are polygons.
+- Inflate also limits the work of filling its grid, which grows with the outline's points times the grid cells its
+  outline crosses. An outline of tens of thousands of points that crosses nearly every cell (a comb of 4,000 teeth
+  across the shape) is refused because the 3D surface is too complex; a closed path of 65,536 points round a

Escape and leaving the field keep the change. The field takes the wheel only when the pointer was moved onto it after the field last moved or was covered by a window or overlay, and the wheel stream began there; a stream that began elsewhere stays there until 0.5 s pass with no wheel input. Order, bounds, Undo grouping, this rule and its 0.5 s are VectorCraft's choices; scores unchanged. |
 | Soft return (forced line break, Shift+Enter) | done | Shift+Enter inserts a soft return (U+2028), breaking the line without starting a new paragraph; paragraph spacing (space before/after) and first-line indents apply only at paragraph ends; continuation lines in lists do not repeat the marker; in justified text a line a soft return ends is justified as a wrapped line is, only the paragraph's last line keeping its alignment, as Illustrator's own layout in a user's `.ai` sets it (evidence: `tests::typo::soft_return_in_justified_text_spreads_like_a_wrapped_line`; first done the other way in #2754) |
 | Native font-family labels | partial | With Show Font Names in English off, localized legacy names are used when typographic names contain no native label (#2208); loaded-font and catalog-only regressions. Choosing among multiple native languages is unchanged. |
 | Point, area and type-on-a-path type; vertical variants | done / partial | vertical point, area and path type have initial support; fullwidth `！` / `？` keep the nominal glyph upright when no vertical alternate exists (Unicode Tu); in a non-rectangular area a word too wide for the top lines moves down to the first line that holds it (#1615); Escape while typing ends the edit, keeps the type selected and switches back to the tool whose double-click on type chose the Type tool (kept until another tool is chosen or another document or window becomes active, so later edits with the Type tool return there too), or to the Selection tool when there is no such tool, as when the Type tool was chosen from the toolbar or after such a switch (#1802), and Cmd+Enter (Ctrl+Enter on Windows and Linux) does the same unless a command is bound to it; `text.create` and `text.createInPath` take `justify` (#1752); MCP `add_text` forwards `vertical` to both commands; Type › Type Orientation sets every frame of a thread, and a thread's frames share one writing direction; the Type and Vertical Type tools make area type when a closed path's outline is clicked and type on a path when an open one is, with pointers that say which, as the public help describes ([Create text](https://web.archive.org/web/20220127090642/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/creating-text.html), [Create type on a path](https://web.archive.org/web/20220127090635/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/creating-type-path.html)) |
 | Area Type Options (rows, columns, inset, first baseline, Text Flow by rows or by columns, Auto Size, Shrink Text to Fit) | done | Text Flow fills the cells down each column first (By Columns, the default, as files from before it open) or across each row first (By Rows), in the dialog and `text.areaOptions {flow}` (#4978); the commands that make or restyle type say when it does not fit its frame; MCP `add_text` takes Auto Size and Shrink Text to Fit (#1471) |
 | Threaded text, Fit Headline, Text Wrap | done | Fit Headline sees wrapping in a frame one line tall (#1444); a thread holds area type and type on a path in any mix, as Illustrator links type in an area or along a path ([help](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/manage-text-area.html)) |
 | Threading from the ports: selected area type and type on a path show an in port and an out port, empty, with an arrow on a side where the frame is threaded, or with a red "+" in the out port when the text doesn't fit; a click on either port loads the text; a click on a closed path, area type or type on a path threads into it, a click on empty canvas makes a frame of the same kind, shape and size there, a drag draws a rectangular frame; the frame placed comes after the clicked one from its out port and before it from its in port (the story then starts there); Escape or another tool cancels; a double-click on a threaded port breaks the thread there | partial | #2572: the Selection tool, `text.thread.add {from, to?, rect?, at?, before?}`, as the reference app's help describes ports and threading ([archived help, Threading text between objects](https://web.archive.org/web/20210119051048/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/creating-text.html), [create text threads](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/design-with-text/add-manage-text/create-text-threads-between-objects.html)); area type's in port sits on the left side below the top-left corner, type on a path's just before its start bracket; Show Text Threads draws its lines between the same ports; with more than 1,000 such objects selected no ports are drawn. a double-click on a port where the frame is threaded breaks the thread there, the story flowing into the frames before the break and the frames after it left empty, still threaded with each other when two or more (`text.thread.break`, [archived help](https://web.archive.org/web/20220127090642/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/creating-text.html)).

 | Character and Paragraph panels, styles with overrides | done | Character-style Auto-leading resets, partial definitions, local leading overrides, override markers, Undo/Redo and native serialization have regression coverage; differing paragraph alignments leave the shared alignment buttons unselected (headless regressions, full integration CI and visual review pass); mixed-value display for other paragraph fields remains missing. Double-clicking a user character style's row opens its Character Style Options, and the dialog keeps a fixed width while its sections scroll when the window is shorter, so its buttons stay on screen; a paragraph style's row opens its Paragraph Style Options, the rename dialog the panel menu opens. Evidence: `panels::text_styles::tests::double_clicking_a_character_style_row_opens_its_options`, `dialogs::char_style_options::tests::the_sections_scroll_in_a_window_shorter_than_the_general_list` |
 | Copy or Cut selected characters, then paste as separate text art | done | A Type-range copy keeps the selected characters' font family, size and color when pasted on the canvas after leaving text editing, in the same document or another. On desktop the clipboard offers plain text to text consumers and rich art for canvas Paste; Paste Without Formatting while editing uses the destination text's style. `tests::clipboard::type_range_copy_stays_styled_when_pasted_as_art` (#5636) |
 | 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. |

 | Hyphenation… and Justification… options | done | Eleven Indian languages use attributed patterns and preserve syllables in both composers (#4947). Hyphenation… (`ui.hyphenation`, `text.setFormat`) sets each paragraph's Words Longer Than, After First, Before Last, Hyphen Limit, Hyphenation Zone (Single-line Composer only) and Hyphenate Capitalized Words, and paragraph styles carry them (#2310). Justification… (`ui.justification`, `text.setFormat`, #2755) sets Word Spacing, Letter Spacing and Glyph Scaling (Minimum, Desired, Maximum), Auto Leading and Single Word Justification; Desired applies to every line, justified lines and the Every-line Composer use the ranges. Vertical type isn't glyph scaled; type on a path doesn't use them. Auto Leading also sets the Leading the Character panel shows for Auto type, the leading Alt+↑/↓ (`type.step`) steps from, per paragraph, and the lines Fill with Placeholder Text counts. Evidence: `crates/text/src/tests/justify.rs`, `dialogs::justification::tests`, `tests_prefs::auto_leading_steps_and_fills_from_the_paragraph_auto_leading`, `panels::character` test `leading_field_shows_the_paragraph_auto_leading` |
 | Tab stops and leaders; Tabs panel | partial | Tabs panel and stops with leaders in the model (`text.tabs.set`); a stop drags from where the press landed (#1458); leaders fill the tab's gap, repeated on a grid so they line up from line to line (#1877); Ctrl-dragging a stop (Command on macOS) moves all the stops together; in right-aligned area type the text before a line's last tab sits at its stops, from the left edge, and the text after it against the right edge, as Illustrator's own layout in a user's `.ai` sets a price list (evidence: `tests::right_aligned_area_type_sets_the_text_after_its_last_tab_against_the_edge`; centred and justified lines are still aligned as a whole) |

The custom dictionary commands are done: `text.spelling.addWord`, `removeWord` and `changeWord` (Add, and Edit Custom Dictionary's Add, Delete and Change), and `text.spelling.dictionary` lists the words, saved to `Custom Dictionary.txt` beside the preferences; Ignore All: `text.spelling.ignoreAll` skips a word in the active document while it is open.

Auto Spell Check is done: Edit › Spelling › Auto Spell Check (`edit.autoSpellCheck`, off at first, saved with the view settings) draws a red wavy line under the unknown words of the visible type, leaves out type with effects, and follows edits, the custom dictionary and Ignore All. A right-click on an underlined word lists the words its dictionary suggests (each replaces it in one undo step, `text.editRange`), or No Suggestions, then Ignore All and Add to Dictionary, and a right-click on type has Spelling › Auto Spell Check, checked while it is on. Edit › Edit Custom Dictionary… lists the custom dictionary's words, with an Entry field and Add, Delete and Change, applied on Done (Cancel leaves the dictionary as it was).

 | Smart Punctuation, Change Case, Find & Replace | done | |
 | Alt + numeric-keypad codes while typing (Windows: `Alt+0176` → °) | partial | #5108: on Windows the character Windows posts when Alt comes up after keypad digits is typed at the caret like any other, in the typing's undo step, and the keypad digits typed with Alt run no shortcut. With NumLock off the keypad keys (Insert, End, arrows, Clear, Home, Page Up/Down without the extended-key flag) count as digits too and don't move the caret (`windows_alt_codes` unit tests; neither NumLock on nor off has been tried on a Windows machine yet). `type.insert {code}` (Windows Alt+0 code, Windows-1252 for 128–159) and `{unicode}` (hex code point) insert a character by its code (`menucmds::insert_a_character_by_its_code`). macOS and Linux have no such system convention and egui reports a keypad digit as the top-row digit, so there it does nothing; a floating panel window doesn't receive the character |
 | Caret: the arrows and Delete step over whole clusters (Thai consonant with its marks, combining accents, emoji); Backspace removes one character | done | in text with right-to-left characters the arrows move in visual order and stop on both sides of a character drawn with no width, such as a zero width non-joiner |
 | Touch Type tool | done | moves, scales and rotates one character through its kerning, baseline shift, scales and rotation (`text.touchType`); a character with a preceding logical character on the same line can move along the line in either reading direction; the first logical character moves only up and down. Positive `dx` follows reading order. These direction rules are VectorCraft's choices. |

With Alignment Guides on as well, and Snap to Grid and Snap to Pixel off, both ends of a Measure or Measure & Inspect drag snap to those guides and show them during the drag (`Targets::for_measure`, `xform::measure::tests::its_ends_land_on_glyph_guides_with_snap_to_glyph`). That the Measure tools take the guides is VectorCraft's choice; they leave out Anchor Point, which [the help page](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/design-with-text/special-characters-glyphs/snap-to-glyph.html) limits to the Pen tool and objects moved with the Selection tool.

-| Middle Eastern: bidirectional layout, Paragraph Direction | done | |
+| Middle Eastern: bidirectional layout, Paragraph Direction | done | PDF export keeps harakat and zero-advance Noto Arabic dot glyphs in one compatible batch per layout line, with per-glyph vertical offsets (#6309). `crates/pdf/src/tests/realtext.rs` (`mark_text_*`) checks decoded cluster mappings, mixed Arabic/Latin/digits, contour placement against outline export, vertical columns, differing path rotations and PDF/X-1a/3/4. Editable-text import still needs ActualText support (#6165); separately styled or differently rotated clusters and external viewer search/copy remain outside this export-only evidence. |
 | Middle Eastern and Indic: digit types (Character panel menu › Digits: Default, Arabic, Hindi, Farsi; Devanagari, Bengali, Gurmukhi, Gujarati, Odia, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam) | done | `text.setFormat` / `text.setRangeStyle {digits}` (`"devanagari"`, `"bengali"`, `"gurmukhi"`, `"gujarati"`, `"odia"`, `"tamil"`, `"telugu"`, `"kannada"`, `"malayalam"` added, #4942); the text keeps the typed digits, the glyphs and SVG export follow the style; carried by character styles. Not yet: `.ai` export of the setting; Indic digits typed as such stay as typed under another system. Evidence: `text::tests::indic_digits_map_to_their_scripts_block`, `tests::bidi::indic_digits_draw_the_scripts_own_digits`, `typecmd::area_tests::indic_digits_round_trip_through_the_commands_and_the_file` |
 | Middle Eastern: Kashidas | done | Paragraph Insert Kashidas sets the length for justified Arabic area type; Character-menu Kashidas allows or excludes selected characters, on by default. A kashida is inserted only between two allowed joined characters. The character switch is retained in character styles and the native file; the length is retained in paragraph styles and the native file. Paint-only harakat (coloured or hidden marks) stay in one shaping cluster so letters keep joining; when the character-level pass matches, a glyph may take a later in-cluster character's run only if GDEF names it a mark (class 3) and that character is a harakat—otherwise the cluster start (a mark may miss its colour; a base never takes a mark's). Inserted tatweels take the base letter's paint—not a trailing mark's. Fonts without GDEF and some AAT/`morx` ligatures (e.g. Geeza Pro Allah) can leave a mark painted as its letter. No Character-panel harakat colour command yet. Evidence: `tests::harakat`.

+| 2026-11-11 | minor | Tracking and manual kerning in horizontally scaled type: they are thousandths of the em as the Horizontal Scale draws it (`vectorcraft_text::spacing_scale`), so at 50% a tracking of 100 adds 0.05 em after each character, half as much as at 100%. They were added at the full em whatever the scale, so narrow tracked type drifted further right with each letter. Illustrator's own layout in users' `.ai` files (used locally, not committed) spaces such type so, and PDF scales its character spacing by its horizontal scaling alike (ISO 32000-1 §9.4.4). Inline graphics take it after them too; vertical type keeps the full em, its advances down the column not all taking the Horizontal Scale. The automatic kerning the Character panel reads, Touch Type's limits and Artwork Cleanup's Combine Point Text measure in the same em, and Scale Text Attributes now keeps tracked type where a horizontal stretch of its transform drew it. Type that has both a Horizontal Scale other than 100% and tracking or manual kerning lays out differently than before in every document. Tests `tests::tracking_and_manual_kerning_take_the_horizontal_scale`, `tests::typo::optical_pairs_in_horizontally_scaled_type_measure_without_the_scaled_tracking`, `tests::inline::shift_tracking_and_missing_symbols`, `tests::vertical::vertical_tracking_keeps_the_em_at_any_horizontal_scale` and the engine's `horizontally_scaled_pair_reads_as_the_kerning_that_keeps_it`, `scale_text_attributes_keeps_tracked_type_where_it_was` and `combine_puts_horizontally_scaled_pieces_back_where_they_were`.
