AI Summary

Adds right-to-left text support, symbolic font decoding, tracked title handling, and new font metadata fields like bold source and fixed pitch.

Key Highlights

  • Implements Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm for Hebrew and Arabic text.
  • Decodes Symbol and ZapfDingbats fonts through their BaseEncoding.
  • Handles tracked display text (TJ offsets) to keep words intact.
  • Adds bold_source, fixed_pitch metadata, and bold_weight_threshold options.
  • Fixes Form XObject zero-area BBox to allow text extraction.

Breaking Changes

  • TextItem literals require new bold_source and fixed_pitch fields in Rust.

New Features

  • RTL text support
  • Symbol font decoding
  • Tracked display text handling
  • Font metadata fields (bold_source, fixed_pitch)

Full Release Notes

Changes since 1.21.0:

- Read right-to-left lines back through the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm: Hebrew and Arabic text stored in visual order comes out in reading order even when the line holds numbers, Latin phrases or punctuation; glyph-by-glyph positioned words cluster into words by the line's own gaps; presentation forms normalize to their letters once the text is in reading order (#552).
- Decode simple fonts through their `/BaseEncoding`, the Symbol and ZapfDingbats built-in encodings and their glyph names — Adobe Glyph List, `uniXXXX` and numbered `gNN`/`cidNN` names resolved against the embedded program — so symbol bullets, arrows and math operators read as the glyphs they are. A code the `/Differences` array names but cannot map reads as nothing, and a Type3 font's glyph-procedure names are never taken for glyph indexes (#553).
- Keep tracked display text whole when its letter spacing is written as `TJ` offsets, so a spaced-out title reads as words rather than one letter per word (#548).
- Add `bold_source` (where `is_bold` came from) and `fixed_pitch` to text items, and `bold_weight_threshold` to the positioned-text options; with `bold_from_weight` adjacent runs merge by the bold verdict; `is_bold_font` recognises Demi, Semibold, Ultra, Heavy and Black faces and the foundry abbreviations (#547).
- Widen the zero-area `/BBox` of Form XObjects at load so their text is extracted and the page renders; Rust gains `widen_degenerate_form_bboxes_mem(bytes)` for the repaired document (#550).
- Judge a CID-keyed font page's text decoded before calling it vector text, and bound Form XObject content inflation (#551).
- Regression fixtures for the boxes of text drawn with a reflected matrix (#549).

`bold_from_weight` and `bold_weight_threshold` stay opt-in; the default `is_bold` now also reads the weight names above as bold.

**Rust migration:** `TextItem` literals need the new `bold_source` and `fixed_pitch` fields.

Release preparation: #556.
