RE: DroidSerif font problems on Windows in CSS Regions spec Editors Draft

Hi Vincent,

I've attached two screenshots showing the problem.

I wasn't able to come up with a workaround, besides removing 'Droid Serif' and using just 'serif', but that's not a great workaround.  I did some google searches for problems with Droid Serif, but I didn't see any reports of similar problems.

Thanks,

David
