I'm not sure if the above tests are passing or not on Win/Linux.  Mihnea said he'd take a look and let me know if it's safe to rebaseline on Win/Linux.

To test, you can install the Chrome Canary (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/chromesxs) and load the test from trac (e.g., http://trac.webkit.org/export/101394/trunk/LayoutTests/fast/regions/region-overflow-break.html).

The difference in tests comes from the usage of Times font-family (default in font-family in browsers). Tests are not wrong but we can improve them by using a monospace font, that will reduce the differences between platforms when using text-align: justify. I also tested with a linux gtk build of webkit and when using a monospace font, the rendering is pretty close. I will upload a patch with the modified tests.

Thanks!

BTW, you could possibly use Ahem to make it even more similar across platforms.
