That bug you point to is irrelevant.  Color fonts work in OTS.  See:

  https://github.com/khaledhosny/ots/issues/9
  https://github.com/khaledhosny/ots/issues/79

Roel's chromacheck is probably broken.  Someone needs to debug what's going

Unfortunately he removed the old test page, which was working for Jungshik

Believe me Chris, I know what I'm talking about. :)
