The brand kit sets UI and body text in IBM Plex Sans and display type in Outfit. The app used forui's default, Inter, for both.

  • forui's typography has separate display and body typefaces, so fTheme gives each its brand face and keeps forui's sizes, weights and line heights. Only the faces change. The theme's comment about leaving forui's typography alone is updated to say why the faces, like the teal, are overridden.
  • Bundled, not fetched, by pinbench_ui (fonts/), so the desktop app renders them offline. Plex Sans comes in the four weights the UI uses (400–700) and Outfit in 500–700, about 1 MB in all. These are full glyph sets rather than Latin-only cuts, because the app shows Ω and µ.
  • Licences: both are SIL OFL 1.1. Each TTF embeds its notice, the licence texts sit beside the files, and NOTICE lists them.

Checked in a release web build, light and dark: the welcome screen and a template workspace (menus, tabs, explorer, canvas toolbar, bottom panes) render in Plex with nothing clipped. The board's silkscreen labels keep their own monospace face. The full app and package suites passed in pre-push.

The fonts are bundled by pinbench_ui (fonts/), not fetched at runtime,
so the desktop app renders them offline: Plex Sans in the four weights
the UI uses (400-700), Outfit in 500-700. Full glyph sets rather than

**Merge after #42 (tagline) and #43 (brand fonts):** this changelog
describes both.

v0.1.1 was drafted but never published, so **0.1.2 is the first release
anyone installs**.

- `pubspec.yaml` → `0.1.2+102` (the release workflow's major·10000 +
minor·100 + patch). It's also the version the web app reports, and the
Release Notes tab shows that version's changelog section.
- `CHANGELOG.md`: `[Unreleased]` becomes **`[0.1.2] - 2026-10-04`**,
adding what merged since v0.1.1 in the user's words:
- **Added:** the Pico W (it was missing), mouse pan, ⌘/ comments,
release notes, the macOS Window menu.
- **Changed:** the brand look and type, the simpler welcome screen, the
empty editor, no sign-in UI where there is no sign-in.
- **Fixed:** a new project starts clean, sketch colouring, Help ▸
Welcome, ⌘W, pane edges.
- Cloud projects are now described as in the hosted *desktop* builds,
since the web app leaves accounts out (pro#4).
  - No Arduino trademark in the new lines.
- `release_notes_test.dart` now asks for `pubspec.yaml`'s version and
requires its own section, so a version bump without one fails. It used
to ask for `0.0.0` and fall back to `[Unreleased]`. Checked: bumping to
0.1.3 without a section fails with *CHANGELOG.md needs a "## [0.1.3] -
<date>" section*.

**After this merges:** tag `v0.1.2` on `main` to build and draft the
release for all three platforms, then publish the draft. The unpublished
v0.1.1 draft can be deleted.
