Arron,
There are more and more tests which I am having difficulties doing
reftests because
1- they are dependent on how tall the line-height of the pass/fail
conditions sentence <p> is: this varies from one font to another.
E.g.:
http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/nightly-unstable/html4/background-attachment-applies-to-001.htm
The amount of blue that we can see depends on the local font used. If I
use "DejaVu Serif", then line-height of <p> will be 19px. Therefore the
amount of blue will be:
16px : body's margin-top collapsing with p's margin-top
+
19px : line-height of p
+
16px : margin-bottom of p
========
51px
which will be substracted from the blue's height (96px) == 45px
but if I use "FreeSerif" font, then p's line-height: normal is going to
be computed as 20px ... which will affect the calculation of the height
of the blue rectangle that is going to be rendered.
Depending on the font used, the height of the blue rectangle can vary
from 43px (rare and unlikely but possible), 44px (eg FreeSerif), 45px
(DejaVu Serif).
2- Another issue is that the number of line boxes of the pass/fail
conditions <p> can become 2 if viewport width is set to minimum 640px;
again, this would make an ordinary reftest wrong.
-----------
The solution I see + propose is to break the pass/fail condition into 2
line boxes when the pass/fail conditions sentence is long and then set
p {line-height: 1.25em;}
The only way to create a reliable reftest is to control the height of
line boxes.
Gérard
