Text: no Latin ligatures, and kerning only from the run's kern size

PowerPoint keeps fi, ffi and Calibri's ti apart and kerns a run only when
a:rPr/@kern is set and the size reaches it; DeckCraft shaped with the font's
defaults (ligatures and kerning always on), so Calibri text read differently
and kern="0" text came out narrower.
