Was the Tahoma font available there (you can see from the `TextLayoutTest > fail()` test) ?

If so, I could rewrite most of the tests to use the Tahoma font, and then probably disable most of the tests for MacOS, unless we can find a font that is common to all platforms -- searching around the web, I get the impression that the fonts "Arial", "Verdana" and "Times New Roman" may be present on all three platforms.

The test isn't so much a test of the font rendering or engine, but a test of alignment and soft wrapping, so having it run on even one OS is a big win.  Variations in font, sizes, etc, don't really change what code paths are hit, just the resulting widths will be off by a few pixels (still need a specific font to use as baseline though as the test widths are manually picked to match).
