Fix Rust XLSX centered VML rendering parity - #133
Conversation
Render legacy VML/EMF previews, stacked text, centered sheets, custom dates, and merged-cell continuations more faithfully; add KaiTi fallback support and prepare Rust crates 0.6.0.
Update the Node binding lockfile for minipdf 0.6.0 and its Windows GDI dependency.
Align all language benchmark entry points with the Rust benchmark contract: Microsoft 365 primary reference, LibreOffice auxiliary reference, 0.95 default score threshold, Suite/Format/MaxCases selection, SkipCandidate support, per-language artifact layout, and synchronized user/agent documentation.
Register and prefer STKaiti for 华文楷体 content, keep punctuation on fonts that contain the glyph, and calibrate centered legacy VML image geometry against the Microsoft 365 reference.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds legacy VML image support, centered-page layout, stacked text, date formatting, and CJK font handling to the Rust XLSX converter. It also standardizes cross-language visual benchmarks around shared suite-based runners, dual references, candidate reuse, and a 0.95 score threshold. ChangesXLSX rendering support

Pull request overview
This PR improves Rust XLSX rendering parity with Microsoft 365 by refining font selection (especially for Kaiti family fonts), preventing font-run reuse when punctuation/whitespace glyphs are missing, and recalibrating centered legacy VML/EMF image and page geometry. It also refactors Rust visual benchmark scripts to use the shared cross-language visual benchmark runner with Microsoft 365 as the primary scored reference and LibreOffice as a required auxiliary reference.
Changes:
- Add legacy VML image extraction (including optional Windows EMF rasterization) and adjust centered VML scaling/offset logic to better match Microsoft 365.
- Improve XLSX text rendering: support stacked text rotation, add an additional date format, and refine preferred-font mapping for 华文楷体 / STKaiti with SimKai fallback behavior.
- Consolidate Rust benchmark execution through
Invoke-LanguageVisualBenchmark.ps1and update docs/tooling defaults (including minimum score threshold).

Place foreground legacy VML images on their anchor page.
The foreground-image loop always adds each legacy VML image to doc.page_mut(first_page_index), while top includes rows from all preceding pages. A legacy VML image anchored after an automatic page break can therefore render off-page on page 1. Place the image on the page containing its anchor row. Add a multi-page regression fixture; the current VML fixtures anchor their images before the first break.

Do not use 0.95 as the shared MinimumScore default. Run-All-Language-VisualBenchmarks.ps1 passes no override, so the shared runner applies 0.95 to Rust. The current selected Rust reports include overall scores of 0.906, 0.9246, 0.5, and 0.2208; the runner therefore throws for those cases. Keep the shared default at 0, and pass -MinimumScore 0.95 only from entry points whose complete selected results meet that threshold.
