Agreed, a reftest requires another way (like PUA codepoints) to get to 
the same glyphs.

Those two work correctly on my Windows 10 (fall update) box on Firefox 
(57b14) and Chrome Canary 64.0.3265. Everything except stylistic 
alternates fails in Edge (EdgeHTML 16.16299) as expected, Edge fails 
similar tests with HTML/CSS as well.

I have used Linux Biolinum in other demos, it is very handy for OpenType 
feature demos. Maybe the license allows modification, to copy glyphs 
into the PUA?
