Yes, but:

When running from testharness, the URL becomes:
http://test.csswg.org/suites/css-writing-modes-3_dev/nightly-unstable/html/text-orientation-script-tr-001.htm

and all following URLs return 404:
http://test.csswg.org/suites/css-writing-modes-3_dev/nightly-unstable/html/fonts/adobe-fonts/CSSHWOrientationTest.otf
http://test.csswg.org/suites/css-writing-modes-3_dev/nightly-unstable/fonts/adobe-fonts/CSSHWOrientationTest.otf
http://test.csswg.org/suites/css-writing-modes-3_dev/fonts/adobe-fonts/CSSHWOrientationTest.otf
http://test.csswg.org/suites/fonts/adobe-fonts/CSSHWOrientationTest.otf
http://test.csswg.org/fonts/adobe-fonts/CSSHWOrientationTest.otf

So:

This does not work. From your information where the /fonts lives:

/source/fonts/adobe-fonts/CSSHWOrientationTest.otf

looks like the only solution (or have a copy.) I'll take "/source/" way for
now.

Yeah, IE kindly warned this for me, that was fixed:
