text-intro-06-t specifies font-family="Andalus,Diwani Letter,serif". To my untrained eye, it seemed like Firefox was failing. The reference image (which was generated with Andalus) looks pretty different from the SVG rendering: http://mcc.id.au/temp/text-intro-06-rendering.png My knowledge of Arabic script is very slight, so I don’t know whether the final form lam-alef ligature is allowed to look like its isolated cousin, just with the horizontal connecting bar to the right, or if it needs to be shaped like this one: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/fefc/index.htm Diwani looks even more different. So I would like to change the test either to omit specific fonts, and just use whatever the system chooses for Arabic text (likely to be a more “normal” looking font than Andalus or Diwani) or to specify a different (free) font, like Scheherazade, in TTF/WOFF. Let me know if you agree. -- Cameron McCormack ≝ http://mcc.id.au/
