Did you remember to install the ahem font? The font-family-name-* tests are my tests, they use the CSSTest fonts not Ahem. Among those tests is an explicit check for font family name matching using GDI which the latest IE9 beta appears to still use for font family lookups. GDI allows matching on names other than the font family and this won't work across platforms (ditto for Postscript name lookups in Webkit). If the tested version of IE9 uses the FindFamilyName method of a IDWriteFontCollection system font object, then everything will match correctly. Here's an example of what I'm talking about, IE matches "Arial Bold" and Webkit/Mac matches "ArialMT-Bold" as *family* names: http://people.mozilla.org/~jdaggett/tests/arialvariations.html I constructed explicit checks for these which is why I'm puzzled how all these tests passed. Maybe they were run without the CSSTest fonts installed? Cheers, John
