Arron, I've labelled this test as "NeedsWork" because 1- Ahem font does not provide, does not have a glyph for ideographic space 2- the default browser font, acting as a fallback in such case, could also not have a glyph for ideographic space; the proper fallback for the test is not assured. The test, in order to be rehabilitated, would need to force the selection and usage of an installed font that we know uses/has the glyph for ideographic space. I am not sure if and how this test can be rehabilitated. A special font or maybe a variation of the Ahem font would need to be carefully crafted, I guess, for such test. http://test.csswg.org/shepherd/testcase/white-space-processing-056/ Gérard -- Contributions to the CSS 2.1 test suite: http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/ CSS 2.1 Test suite RC6, March 23rd 2011: http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20110323/html4/toc.html CSS 2.1 test suite harness: http://test.csswg.org/harness/ Contributing to to CSS 2.1 test suite: http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/web-authors-contributions-css21-testsuite.html
