I have a suggestion which may make the test semi-automatic or at least help the tester to verify.

If the area with the rendered text can be magnified, starting from the first line of text and so on, it would help verify that the text is rendered as expected.

The black text can be verified automatically. The gray and LCD-subpixel may also be automated, yet it requires more work to make the detection stable.

This is out of scope for this issue but it could be another issue. What do you think?
