These tests allow users to examine how CSS justification and letter-space features affect text in various languages, as well as default browser behaviour. There is no correct answer for these exploratory tests.
To see the test, click on the link in the left-most column.
Any dependencies are shown in notes above the table, and notes below the table. Where the instructions tell you to look for red characters, these characters should be clearly discernable behind the black text of the test – ignore any anti-aliasing 'glow'.
