Sharper text kerning and correct news-site image cards

Text now kerns modern fonts the way other browsers do, and news-style picture cards lay out correctly. The engine reads pair kerning from the GPOS table that fonts like the macOS system font, Inter, and DM Sans store it in, so letter pairs such as 'To' and 'VA' tighten the way their designers intended. It also fixes how it builds picture-card grids - deriving each card's height from the image's aspect ratio and keeping a hidden duplicate image out of the layout flow - so cards sit beside their headline at the right height instead of collapsing to a strip or stretching too tall.

What changed 3 changes

Rendering	Text kerns the way other browsers do: the engine now reads pair kerning from the GPOS table, where modern fonts like the system font, Inter, and DM Sans keep it, so pairs like 'To' and 'VA' tighten correctly in headings and labels.
Rendering	Picture cards on news-style pages sit beside their headline instead of dropping below it - a grid auto-placement fix, so a card pinned to a row no longer pushes the neighbouring text onto the next row.
Rendering	Image cards no longer collapse to a thin strip or stretch a section too tall - the engine sizes them from their aspect ratio, stops mistaking an image's alt text for its width, and keeps a page's hidden duplicate image out of the layout flow.
