Hello all, List of questionable testcases on font and vertical-align: 1- Font-size using inches with a nominal value, 3in http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100727/html4/font-size-061.htm http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100727/html4/font-size-062.htm Some browsers will fail these tests because their font-size limit is 255px. I wish those 2 tests would change 3in to 2in 2- http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100727/html4/c527-font-000.htm "There should be a small gap between each line." Reason: how small is a small gap? how can a normal tester (your mother, your bus driver, your neighbour) realistically establish that this gap here is small while that gap over there is not small? How exactly can this test fail? 3- http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100727/html4/c527-font-002.htm "9px gap between lines" Reason: how can a normal tester (your mother, your bus driver, your neighbour) realistically establish that this gap here is 9px while that gap over there is not 9px? The testcase does not provide a ruler, some kind of green overlapping red mechanism, etc. Where is the start line and the end line? 4- http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100727/html4/c527-font-003.htm "small and cursive, with double line spacing" Reason: it is not clear how such test can be evaluated as pass or fail, even by a machine. 5- http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100727/html4/c527-font-004.htm http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100727/html4/c527-font-005.htm http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100727/html4/c527-font-006.htm http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100727/html4/c527-font-007.htm http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100727/html4/c527-font-008.htm http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100727/html4/c527-font-009.htm http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100727/html4/c527-font-10.htm All these testcases rely on the tester being able to measure a distance of a few pixels between lines, or the font-size, without a comparing ruler, without a reliable working measurement system or some kind of overlapping color mechanism. 6- http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/CSS2.1/20100727/html4/vertical-align-115.htm http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/CSS2.1/20100727/html4/vertical-align-116.htm I have explained why these tests are incorrect in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-css-testsuite/2010Feb/0030.html regards, Gérard -- Contributions to the CSS 2.1 test suite: http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/ CSS 2.1 test suite (beta 2; July 27th 2010): http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100727/html4/toc.html CSS 2.1 test suite contributors: http://test.csswg.org/source/contributors/
