fast/parser/font.html

[David Hyatt]

Do you mean fonts.html?

This is an evil Hixie test (from Ian Hickson).  It's making sure that 
all of the font properties are correctly parsed.  Assuming you have the 
Ahem font properly installed, then if each shorthand is correctly 
parsed, you end up with the white Ahem glyphs (which are just squares) 
obscuring the red backgrounds of the spans.  If the font shorthand is 
not correctly parsed, then the Ahem font won't apply, and you'll end up 
seeing white text on a red background.

If you don't have the Ahem font installed, then you might want to 
simply adjust the test and change the "Ahem" font name to something 
else, just to make sure it is being applied to all of the paragraphs 
(and then inherited into the spans).
