Having a flag makes sense to me, however that particular requirement should also be documented
in the test description. I suspect in some cases the requirement might be a bit complicated,
and in all cases we should make sure there are free fonts available that can be used for these
tests (and point to them somewhere, perhaps in a separate document explaining the use of fonts
in these tests).

We should go over these tests together when you are ready to submit them.
