**What is the goal of this PR?** A tweak to the fixed-point x-advance and kerning calculations to ensure that the spacing between any two glyphs is always calculated consistently. I noticed that sometimes I'd see common character pairs like "oo" more than once on a page, and the distance between the two snapped to different pixels depending on the running accumulated error for the line of text. This change uses a differential rounding approach where each glyph's x-advance plus the kerning relative to the next glyph are combined in fixed-point precision, then snapped to a pixel to draw the next glyph. This results in a consistent inter-glyph spacing any time the same two glyphs show up adjacent to each other, regardless of the accumulated error across the line. --- While CrossPoint doesn't have restrictions on AI tools in contributing, please be transparent about their usage as it helps set the right context for reviewers.

Why this fork
Unfortunately the official repository suffers from too many good ideas floating around and a lack of clear governance how to deal with these contributions, so it's lacking fundamental fixes for a proper reading experience (rendering issues, sub-par sync capabilities with KOReader, a popular multi-platform open-source epub reader).
Trying to contribute enhancements / fixes became increasingly difficult as the lack of progress effectively prevented further development.
Therefore this branch focuses on real fixes and real improvements while trying to keep up to pace with developments in the main branch.
What's different
- Proper KOReader Snychronisation (including https TLS OOM fix)
- Fixes for a lot of css rendering issues
- Additional sleep screens support (information overlay, transparent pictures over current reader screen)
- Clock-Support
- Weather information panel
- Multiple under-the-hood performance improvements
- Book information screen
- Reading ruler
- ...
