With SCALED_COMPONENT_OFFSET, a component's offset now scales each axis
by the length of that axis's basis vector, as the outline loader does,
instead of going through the whole matrix. A rotated or skewed
component's caret no longer lands away from its drawn point.
UNSCALED_COMPONENT_OFFSET now turns the scaling off when both flags are
set.
A composite glyph whose components expand into glyphs with no points
could make the contour-point caret lookup read billions of glyphs. The
whole lookup now shares a budget of 65,536 glyph reads and gives no
caret when it runs out, so the caret falls back to dividing the advance.
On a path, vertical type turns an upright glyph about its pen, so its cell
runs from 0.12 em before the pen to 0.88 em after it without the font's
vertical metrics. The ligature caret, a click and the selection measured
the cell from the pen instead. They now take the cell where the glyph's
transform draws it, with its placement, baseline shift, Horizontal Scale
and Skew.
A manual kerning value on an inline graphic's character was stored and
shown but did not move the text after it. The graphic's advance now
includes the value, as a letter's does, and in right-to-left horizontal
type its art moves right by the value, so the space goes between it and
the next character in reading order. Auto and Optical kerning still apply
no font pairs to an inline graphic.
Right-to-left manual kerning was added to the glyph's offset, which
Character Rotation turns, so a rotated character with kerning moved
across the line (up at 90 degrees) instead of away from the next
character in reading order. The shift is now applied to the pen
position along the baseline, outside the rotation, and the rotation
turns the glyph about that moved pen position.
A manual kerning value on a character in right-to-left text changed the
space between it and the character before it in reading order, under
both Auto and Optical kerning. The shaped glyphs of a right-to-left
cluster now also move right by the value, so the space its advance
gains is at its left, between it and the next character in reading
order. Left-to-right text and tracking are unchanged.
Optical kerning no longer takes the left glyph's manual value off the
advance it measures, since right to left the value is in that glyph's
offset as well.
The OpenType panel gets a Position menu after Figure, with Default
Position, Superscript, Subscript, Numerator and Denominator. `numr` and
`dnom` join the extra features (the existing bits keep their indices),
so they round-trip through the stored tags and reach the shaper.
text.setStyle and text.setRangeStyle take `featureChanges`, which turns
features on or off on top of each character's own features in one
command and keeps every tag the list does not name. The Figure menu,
the Position menu and the checkboxes send it, so on a selection whose
characters have different features each character keeps its other
features. Reset OpenType Features still sends `features`.
Catalog rows for Position:, Default Position, Numerator and
Denominator; one line each in docs/type-parity.md and
docs/target-app-parity.md.
Area type made from the editing data's text document came in with one
row, one column, the 18 pt gutter and the Ascent first baseline,
whatever its frame kept. Each area frame now keeps its rows and columns,
the gutter between rows and the gutter between columns, and its first
baseline (Fixed, Cap Height, Leading or x Height) with its minimum,
scaled with the art's units. Each frame of a thread keeps its own, and a
key that is missing or can't be read leaves that option as it was. A
first baseline the frame keeps is no longer replaced by the fixed one
that matches the file's first line.
AreaOptions gets row_gutter (rowGutter, left out while unset), which
layout spaces rows by; text.areaOptions takes and reports rowGutter, a
gutter given alone sets both, and the Area Type Options dialog shows
Row Gutter.
Area type whose frame a wrap object covers sets no line and overflows.
Area type wrapped around a shape of 10,000 anchors sets its lines beside
the shape.
Baseline shift now moves a character in the line's frame, outside
Character Rotation, so a positive shift moves a character up from its
line at any rotation, and the character turns about its shifted pen
position. The Touch Type tool splits a drag into its part along the line
(kerning) and its part up from the line (baseline shift) at every
rotation; before, within about 6 degrees of a quarter turn it dropped
the cross-line part.
Characters that already combine a rotation with a baseline shift are
drawn in a new position. Their stored values do not change.
- text: glyph transform order, PositionedGlyph::pivot (the turning
point), tab leaders in the same order
- tools: Touch Type splits drags against the line's up axis and measures
rotate-handle turns about the shifted pen position
- engine: text.touchType description; dy is up from the line
- docs: mcp.md Touch Type paragraph, target-app-parity.md progress line
Character panel menu > Standard Vertical Roman Alignment, with Show East
Asian Options, is now a check item. It sets a new character attribute,
`standardVerticalRoman` (text.setFormat, text.setRangeStyle), off by
default and saved only when on. In vertical type the marked Latin
letters, digits and other characters that would lie on their side stand
upright one below the other, each in its upright cell. Spaces keep their
width and tate-chu-yoko blocks stay across the column. Horizontal type
keeps the mark and does not change. A combining mark shaped as its own
glyph turns with its letter, in Latin and CJK upright type alike.
Character Style Options labels the Character Alignment row "Character
Alignment" and gives Standard Vertical Roman Alignment its own checkbox.
Reset Panel turns the attribute off. PDF and SVG export place the glyphs
from the layout and need no change.
Document Setup and Character › Language list Serbian: Cyrillic (sr-Cyrl),
Serbian: Latin (sr-Latn) and Croatian (hr). Text tagged Serbian is shaped
in it (#4940, #4959), so fonts draw their Serbian forms, the italic б,
г, д, п, т. Serbian quotes follow the Pravopis (Matica srpska 2010,
т. 168) and CLDR: „…” and ’…’; Croatian per CLDR: „…“ and ‚…‘.
Illustrator lists Croatian but not Serbian.

Characters get a language (CharStyle::language, a BCP 47 tag of one of
Document Setup's languages; none for the default, English: USA, saved
only when set). The shaper sets it on the HarfRust buffer, so fonts use
their language forms (OpenType locl): Turkish keeps fi apart and the dot
on its i. Runs in different languages are shaped apart. New type takes
the document's language.
Highlight Alternate Glyphs no longer drops a lam-alef cluster's glyphs
outright: the ligature is clear when required shaping, or shaping with
liga left on (older fonts), gives it, so an optional feature such as
salt that changes it is highlighted again. is_lam_alef takes any
combining mark by Unicode general category (Arabic Extended-A/B/C
included) instead of a partial list. The test font maps the fatha to a
mark and skips marks in its ligature, so the mark-spanning test checks
the exact ligature glyph and cluster; it gains a salt lookup and test.
Also a one-line equivalent nonminimal_bool repair in pathops'
pathtools that strict Clippy needs on main.
Highlight Alternate Glyphs compares each glyph with required shaping
alone, which turns liga and calt off. Older Arabic fonts (such as the
legacy Arial of the Microsoft core fonts) put the mandatory lam-alef
ligature in liga instead of rlig, so every lam-alef was highlighted.
A lam + alef cluster (any alef form, marks allowed) is now never an
alternate candidate, whatever feature the font uses.
Adds a test font built in code (lam-alef under liga or rlig) and
host-independent regressions. Also two equivalent one-line repairs
strict Clippy needs on main: a nonminimal_bool in the Path Precision
Tools inspect check and is_none() in a gradient panel test.
In typography and Illustrator, Shift+Enter inserts a soft return (forced
line break) rather than ending the paragraph. Text wraps to the next line
without applying paragraph-level spacing (space before/after, first-line
indents), list continuation lines keep their parent item without repeating
markers, and justified text does not stretch lines ending with a soft return.
- Forward active modifier keys for Enter in ui-egui shortcuts so the tool
detects Shift+Enter.
- Type tool inserts U+2028 (LINE SEPARATOR) on Shift+Enter.
- Text shaping and layout treat U+2028 as an invisible zero-advance control
character, breaking the line in point and area type.
- Paragraph spacing and list markers apply once per paragraph as intended.

Character Rotation turned a glyph's baseline shift and scaling with the glyph, and the Skew path effect slants a glyph's height away from the path's normal, so the x-height guide moved off the glyphs. Each positioned glyph now carries the transform that removes its Character Rotation (PositionedGlyph::unturned), and the guide goes through the glyph's x-height point placed without it, measured across the baseline. Snap to Glyph also takes Smart Guides being on in the tools, as View › Snap to Glyph already does in the engine.
With View › Snap to Glyph and Smart Guides on, a point drawn near a single
line of live type now also lands on the anchor points of its glyphs and lines
up with its x-height (raised or lowered by Baseline Shift) and with the edges
of each character's advance width along the baseline (proximity guides). In
rotated type the baseline, x-height and proximity guides run at the type's
angle, and type of one glyph also has angular guides along the glyph's slanted
straight segments; a segment that Shift keeps to its angle slides onto them.
A paragraph shows glyph bounds only, so its baselines are no longer guides.
FontFace::x_height gives a face's x-height in font units.
- flow.rs: an opening bracket starting a wrapped line is set flush unless the paragraph is
right to left, as before the split (it had become !vertical, so vertical text with
LineEndHalf lost the flush and RTL paragraphs gained it). PlacementContext carries rtl.
- flow.rs, ruby.rs: put back the comments the split dropped (JLREQ, burasagari, Optical
Margin Alignment, kashidas, ruby phases).
- xtask root(): the parent directory, not .../xtask/..
Given a family and no font style, text.create and text.createInPath
kept the default Regular, and text.setStyle kept the text's previous
style, even when the family has no such style. A family whose styles
are numbered (Hiragino W3, W6) has no Regular, so the file named a
font that isn't installed and opened with Missing Fonts.
They now keep the style when the family has it, else take the
family's closest one, as text.setRangeStyle already did. Its rule
moves to `textedit::fit_font_style`, which the three commands share;
Graph labels styled through text.setStyle follow it too. A style the
caller names is kept as given.
The test builds a family with W3 and W6 and no Regular in code
(`test_fonts::numbered_font`), so no font file is added.
