Ken,

Right now, to my knowledge, only Koji Ishii has created tests using your
CSSHWOrientationTest.otf font file . We will check once in a while
if we are still using the latest version... hopefully, the filesize of a
newer version will be different from the present version.

I just updated the README.md file.

http://hg.csswg.org/test/rev/b2d1c69ac55d

The updates are mostly about the font binary version: what is the latest 
version and where to check for the latest.

Ken, thank you for your time.

Gérard
