Two icons in the strip were pen drawings among four flat text marks, and read as odd next to them.

  • Highlight was a hand-drawn highlighter (nib, barrel, cap). It is now the stroke rather than the tool: a thick band across a line of text. ic_marker.xml goes, ic_highlight.xml takes its place, and the document's highlight tool follows it.
  • Draw was a pen over a squiggle. The pen goes and the ink stays, with humps wider and higher than ic_format_squiggly's wave, so the two do not read alike - that one stands for an underline, this one for drawing.

Built and looked at on a Pixel 9 Pro, in a pdf's markup strip.

Two of the icons in the strip were pen drawings among four flat text marks.
The highlight becomes the stroke rather than the tool - a band across a line
of text - and the ink loses the pen over it, keeping humps wider and higher
than ic_format_squiggly's wave, which stands for an underline.
