Is it possible to find out which fonts actually appear in the test suite and ensure that they are found on the test system in question?
Some of the tests use Arial, but a lot just don't specify any font, which seems to result in different fonts on different systems. How does Inkscape select a font in such a case?
If no font-family can be found for an element then we'll default to "Sans". What that means depends on the underlying font system. On Linux this is fontconfig, so it's whatever is configured there. See man 5 fonts.conf or http://fontconfig.org/fontconfig-user.html, where the example shows Sans resolving to Arial.
