UAAG 1.0 Requirement

Checkpoint 2.10 Don't render text in unsupported writing systems (Priority 3 ): Provision 1 : For graphical user agents, allow configuration not to render text in unsupported scripts (i.e., writing systems) when that text would otherwise be rendered.; Provision 2 : When configured per provision one of this checkpoint, indicate to the user in context that author-supplied content has not been rendered due to lack of support for a writing system.

Test 1 :

Procedure

Determine if the text of the two test paragraphs has been rendered.

Run test

Text paragraph 1, lang="en" follows:

A black shadow dropped down into the circle. It was Bagheera the Black Panther, inky black all over, but with the panther markings showing up in certain lights like the pattern of watered silk. Everybody knew Bagheera, and nobody cared to cross his path; for he was as cunning as Tabaqui, as bold as the wild buffalo, and as reckless as the wounded elephant. But he had a voice as soft as wild honey dripping from a tree, and a skin softer than down.

Test paragraph 2, lang="xx" follows:

Xxxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxx. Xxxxx xxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxx. Xxxxx xxxx xx x xxxxxx xxxx xx xxxx xxxx. Xxxx xxxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxxx. Xxxx xxxx xxxxx x xxxx xxxx xx xxxx xxxxxx. Xxxxxxx xxx x xxx xx xxxxxxxx xxxx. Xxxxxx xxxxx x xxxxxxx xxx xxxxx x xxxxx xxxxx. Xxxx xxxxx xx xxxxx xxxxxx.

Expected results
