If we want to be consistent, the test in question must either be removed or changed. ACID 3 tests may be old, but they are also current. Since we already established that TTF has never been mandated to be supported, and it is not the goal of ACID 3 tests to enforce the TTF support either, I would consider this a bug in the existing test, and what Sylvain has proposed is a simple bug fix. It is perfectly normal to fix bugs as they are discovered, and for this reason ACID 3 must be changed IMO. The proposed change will not affect any existing browser - every single one that passed this particular test before will pass it again with no changes. So, what is the reason for not fixing this bug? > I'd like to see WOFF test in ACID 4, though. Yes, I would say this is a must. WOFF is the format that is going to be standardized by W3C.
