## Font Rules

### Font Family Standards

| Language | Default | Alternatives |
|----------|---------|--------------|
| **Chinese** | Microsoft YaHei (微软雅黑) |, |
| **English** | Arial | Georgia, Calibri, Cambria, Trebuchet MS |

```javascript
fontFace: "Microsoft YaHei"  // Chinese text
fontFace: "Arial"            // English text (or approved alternative)
```

Use system-safe fonts for cross-platform compatibility. Header/body can use different fonts (e.g., Georgia + Calibri).

### No Bold for Body Text

**Plain body text and caption/legend text must NOT use bold.**

- Body paragraphs, descriptions → normal weight
- Captions, legends, footnotes → normal weight
- Reserve bold for titles and headings only

```javascript
// ✅ Correct
slide.addText("Main Title", { bold: true, fontSize: 36, fontFace: "Arial" });
slide.addText("Body text here.", { bold: false, fontSize: 14, fontFace: "Arial" });

// ❌ Wrong
slide.addText("Body text here.", { bold: true, fontSize: 14 });
```

## Color Palette Rules (MANDATORY)

### Strict Palette Adherence

**Use ONLY the provided color palette. Do NOT create or modify colors.**

- All colors must come from the user-provided palette
- Do NOT use colors outside the palette
- Do NOT modify palette colors (brightness, saturation, mixing)
- **Only exception**: Add transparency using the `transparency` property (0-100)

```javascript
// ✅ Correct: Using palette colors
slide.addShape(pres.shapes.RECTANGLE, { fill: { color: theme.primary } });
slide.addText("Title", { color: theme.accent });
