A point release after 20261016.3: hollow text, a text with a stroke and no fill, is drawn as an
outline.
Fixed in this release
Text without a fill is drawn as an outline. A text whose fill swatch is NONE (hollow
lettering, as a Canva PDF import produces for an outline effect) had its glyphs filled in
whatever colour was drawn before it. Words, drop caps, list markers and tab leaders now skip
the fill when there is none.
Its stroke keeps its own width. An outward stroke is drawn at twice its width for the fill
to cover the inner half; without a fill it is now drawn once, so hollow text no longer comes
out with a doubled stroke and flooded counters.
No stray underline or strikethrough. A bar without a colour of its own takes the text's,
which for hollow text is none; it was painted in the colour before and now draws nothing.
Typograph developers notes
TYP-317 (canvas fix/TYP-317-text-without-fill, canvas #189): the pin moves from 661b89e
to a0efc6e, which adds only canvas #189 (8c7fe1f, c87fd93) in richtext.ts
(has_text_fill()). Needed before converted PDFs with Type3 hollow text (pdf-converter #33)
reach users.
