Hello, The test suite assumpions http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/nightly-unstable/#uncommon and the test harness entrance page http://test.csswg.org/harness/ [1] should specifically invite testers to disable anti-aliasing (font smoothing, ClearType) in their operating system because this can and will affect rendered layout. I believe the ideal text of such recommendation would describe how to disable anti-aliasing in Windows, Mac and Linux. We already invite testers to assume black text on white background, no minimum font size and background color printing: " Please make sure your client is configured to: Default black text on a white background. No minimum font size. Print background colors and images. " So, Linux KDE 4: K application Kickoff launcher / System Settings / Applications Appearance / Fonts / Use font smoothing : Disabled Windows XP: Start / Control Panel / Category Appearance and Themes / Display / Appearance tab / Effects button / and here uncheck the checkbox "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts" Under IE8: Tools / Internet Options / Advanced tab / category Multimedia / and here uncheck the checkbox " Always use ClearType for HTML" Often, the operating system must be restarted to make the change effective, fully in effect.
