Those tests are better if, instead of "dummy text" everywhere, we use
one-single-letter words (like "a", "b", "c", etc). I think I found the
best test design+code now by alternating normal blank white spaces with
non-breakable spaces:

That way, the guiding lines (like rails of a railway) are drawn, painted
through the white spaces (without resorting to 'color: transparent'
which isn't CSS2.1 compliant) and the vertical position of respective
tested small and bigger blocks are much easier to see.

We could do the same for other c414-flt-ln-00* tests.
