PIL textbbox fix

PIL's textbbox((0,0), text, font) returns (x0, y0, x1, y1) where y0 is a non-zero offset (typically 7–15px depending on font size). Drawing text at (x, y) without compensating for this offset causes text to appear below the pill's visual center.

Fix implemented in pill():

bb    = draw.textbbox((0, 0), text, font=font)
x_off, y_off = bb[0], bb[1]
vis_w = bb[2] - bb[0]   # actual visual width
vis_h = bb[3] - bb[1]   # actual visual height

# Compensate offsets when drawing text
tx = cx - vis_w // 2 - x_off
ty = y - y_off
draw.text((tx, ty), text, font=font, fill=fg)

Emoji note

NotoColorEmoji.ttf fails with PIL at arbitrary sizes (bitmap font with limited supported sizes). Use text alternatives ("Free delivery" instead of "Free delivery 🚚") for reliable rendering.
