          Priority: P2

Some CSS 2.1 tests use fancy characters that aren't present in Times font. Depending on which fonts 
are installed on the machine, different results are generated.

Unless it's possible to somehow control font fallback in DRT, we may need to replace the characters 
with something less fancy. Hixie said: "if you can make an exact list of which tests suffer from this 
problem, and if you can provide a list of cute glyphs that don't suffer from this problem, then mail the 
public-css-test at w3.org list".

Tests currently known to be affected:
css2.1/t0905-c414-flt-00-d.html
css2.1/t0805-c5519-brdr-r-01-e.html
css2.1/t0905-c5525-fltblck-00-d-ag.html
