The points tested will be specific to the font used, similar to the problems with the #1236 PR.  So, it would have to be a font that has very similar widths for the characters. Arial is one of the most available fonts across platforms.

Options are:
- Include some open source freely distributable font as part of `src/test/resources` that we can load easily
- Simulate a font, perhaps using a mocking framework
- Use a very common font (Arial) and just make sure you have it installed
- Just accept that it is a system test and it's enough to have it run on one of the platforms :)
