As I mentioned at the face-to-face meeting (see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Nov/0240.html ), I believe a significant number of tests are invalid because they use the Ahem font at sizes that are not a multiple of 5 pixels. This means that important metrics such as ascent, descent, and x-height are not integral numbers of pixels. Different platforms tend to perform rounding differently. See the following bug reports for extended discussion of issues on Linux: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=604836 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611780 This affects the following tests: html4/c43-rpl-bbx-002.htm xhtml1/c43-rpl-bbx-002.xht html4/c43-rpl-ibx-000.htm xhtml1/c43-rpl-ibx-000.xht html4/c548-leadin-000.htm xhtml1/c548-leadin-000.xht html4/c548-ln-ht-002.htm xhtml1/c548-ln-ht-002.xht html4/c526-font-sz-002.htm xhtml1/c526-font-sz-002.xht html4/first-line-pseudo-013.htm xhtml1/first-line-pseudo-013.xht html4/first-line-pseudo-014.htm xhtml1/first-line-pseudo-014.xht html4/first-line-pseudo-015.htm xhtml1/first-line-pseudo-015.xht html4/first-line-pseudo-016.htm xhtml1/first-line-pseudo-016.xht html4/inline-formatting-context-022.htm xhtml1/inline-formatting-context-022.xht html4/inline-non-replaced-height-002.htm xhtml1/inline-non-replaced-height-002.xht html4/inline-non-replaced-height-003.htm xhtml1/inline-non-replaced-height-003.xht html4/letter-spacing-043.htm xhtml1/letter-spacing-043.xht html4/letter-spacing-044.htm xhtml1/letter-spacing-044.xht html4/margin-collapse-154.htm xhtml1/margin-collapse-154.xht html4/max-height-108.htm xhtml1/max-height-108.xht html4/outline-019.htm xhtml1/outline-019.xht html4/outline-020.htm xhtml1/outline-020.xht html4/units-001.htm xhtml1/units-001.xht html4/units-004.htm xhtml1/units-004.xht html4/vertical-align-121.htm xhtml1/vertical-align-121.xht html4/vertical-align-applies-to-008.htm xhtml1/vertical-align-applies-to-008.xht html4/vertical-align-applies-to-009.htm xhtml1/vertical-align-applies-to-009.xht html4/vertical-align-applies-to-010.htm xhtml1/vertical-align-applies-to-010.xht html4/vertical-align-applies-to-011.htm xhtml1/vertical-align-applies-to-011.xht html4/vertical-align-applies-to-012.htm xhtml1/vertical-align-applies-to-012.xht html4/vertical-align-applies-to-013.htm xhtml1/vertical-align-applies-to-013.xht html4/vertical-align-applies-to-014.htm xhtml1/vertical-align-applies-to-014.xht html4/vertical-align-applies-to-015.htm xhtml1/vertical-align-applies-to-015.xht html4/white-space-collapsing-001.htm xhtml1/white-space-collapsing-001.xht html4/white-space-collapsing-002.htm xhtml1/white-space-collapsing-002.xht html4/white-space-processing-043.htm xhtml1/white-space-processing-043.xht html4/white-space-processing-044.htm xhtml1/white-space-processing-044.xht html4/white-space-processing-045.htm xhtml1/white-space-processing-045.xht -David -- L.
