> I have a couple of suggestions:
> 1. Use a modified copy of one of the SVG fonts already in the LayoutTests directory, for example, LayoutTests/svg/custom/resources/SVGFreeSans.svg with a few glyph elements added for RTL characters (by duplicating existing glyphs)
> 2. Use a generic family (e.g. sans-serif) and have platform-dependent results (I am not sure what in the test requires it to use the same font on all platforms).

The test itself checks whether the length of the text is the same as the difference between first caret rect and last caret rect.

It is expected to pass in all platforms.

But there is one case that failed in Mac (http://webkit.org/b/56854). When there is failure, the length of the text and the difference of caret range are printed out, then, the number will be different in different platforms.

Actually, looks like even with the same font and same font size, the length computed in different platforms might be different (I tried safari in snow-leopard and chromium in linux using DroidSansHebrew, the length computed are slightly different).
