fix(display): pin one text layout engine, and give the 5x7 BDF face a size (#539)
* fix(display): pin one text layout engine, and give the 5x7 face a size Two ways a font could render differently on two machines running the same code, both found while diagnosing four plugins whose golden images passed on the machine that generated them and failed everywhere else. **Layout engine.** `ImageFont.truetype` picks its engine at load time: Raqm where the host Pillow was built with libraqm, Basic otherwise. The two round fractional glyph advances differently. `PressStart2P-Regular.ttf` at 8px has whole-pixel advances, so they agree — which is why most of the fleet matched everywhere and hid this. `4x6-font.ttf` at 6px does not: glyph positions drift cumulatively along a run, and the four plugins that draw body text in it (geochron, of-the-day, christmas-countdown, ledmatrix-weather's almanac) are exactly the four whose goldens travelled badly. Every core font load now goes through `src/common/font_layout.load_truetype`, which pins the Basic engine, so a render depends on the font file and the size and nothing else. Basic gives up complex-script shaping and kerning pairs; neither applies to bitmap-grid faces on an LED panel. Output is unchanged on a host without libraqm. **Zero font height.** `DisplayManager` built the 5x7 BDF face with `freetype.Face(path)` and never called `set_char_size`, so `face.size.height` stayed 0 and `get_font_height()` returned 0 for it — callers stacking rows by `prev_y + prev_height + gap` drew two lines on top of each other. The start-up line `Calendar font size: 0 pixels` has been printing the symptom all along. `font_manager._load_bdf_font` already called `set_char_size`, so whether measurement worked depended on which path loaded the face. `DisplayManager` now sets it too, and `get_font_height()` falls back to the strike the file declares rather than returning a zero line height.

It used to squeak in only because the measurement depended on which layout engine the host Pillow happened to have; with the engine pinned it does not, so the rung the worst case actually needs is now in the ladder instead of implied: 4x6 at 5px, which measures 51. The fallback was wrong in the same place. When nothing in the ladder fit, it returned `self.font` -- the *widest* option, and precisely how "Initializing" came to run off the side of a 64px panel to begin with. It returns the narrowest face that loaded now. test/test_initializing_screen.py: 34 passed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(display): name the exceptions the BDF strike read can raise Codacy flagged the try/except/pass. It was already narrow in intent -- a malformed strike table on the measurement path must degrade to "size unknown" rather than take the display down -- but a bare `except Exception: pass` says neither of those things and hides a genuinely broken font behind a silent 8px fallback. It now catches what reading `available_sizes` can actually raise and logs which face failed.

Nothing in the change needs them. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
