Leaving my comments here as well as #webkit, just in case ojan is away. Assuming that the "actual image" output is the flexbox example, it seems that flexbox is somehow triggering the complex text rendering path. I say this because the kerning errors that Ojan describes are actually ligatures. When complex text is active an 'f' character and an 'l' character combine into one ligature.

It makes sense that text rendered via the complex text path and the simple text path look different. I'm surprised it passes on other platforms. Unless of course, this bug only occurs on GTK+.

An easy fix for this is to force the reference HTML to use complex text rendering, but perhaps it's a bug that flexbox text is rendered via the complex text path.
