And many users have fonts that are from different platforms, whether from dual booting or (probably much more often) from installing applications that in turn installed fonts. The test should be for specific versions of fonts, or at the least specific foundries an capabilities (just like writing portable C or C++ tests for features, not for platform). I have only a vague recollection, but doesn't the X11 windowing system have information such as foundry,...? I don't think we can use that system as is, but maybe we get some additional hints out of it.
