Comment #16 on issue 2304 by js...@chromium.org: Font problem on clean  
machines.
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=2304

Rebaselining on a system without a font covering those characters will  
results in a
test failure on a system with a font covering them.

There are two ways to resolve these issues:

1. Persuade CSS 2.1 WG to revise the test
2. Change our test shell code to use a 'tailor-made font' (to be added in  
our tree) .
We have to make that font (or get one with a liberal enough license to be  
included in
our tree).


I think CSS 2.1 test-suites need to be revised to be 'font-independent'.  
Those tests
do not need to rely on the availability of those glyphs. Using thumbnail  
images for
those characters preserve what Ian wanted (visual inspection) in them while  
making
them more robust.

However, we resolve this issue eventually, I think it's bad to leave them  
untested.
So, I've just made a patch to add revised tests (which I hope will be  
accepted by CSS
WG) to pending.
