Re: Latest (most recent) version of CSSHWOrientationTest.otf and text-orientation-script-001* tests

Gérard,

Given that these OpenType fonts cover all of Unicode in a way that is not tied to a particular version of Unicode, the likelihood up frequent updates is very low. I can either set a reminder for myself to notify when an update is issued, or you can check the project at specific times of the year. Or both.

Regards...

Maybe just checking once in a while and replacing/overwriting for updating when needed would be sufficient...?

The last modified date info does not relate to the version of the OTF font file.

This seems increasingly important since the text-orientation-script-001* tests appear to be very difficult, very user-system-resources demanding to testers (starting with me).
