screenshot of test case

Instead of outlining each individual letter, causing the connections between letters to be discontinuous (see screenshot), the entire string of joined letters should be outlined.

Note the slight rendering difference in the screenshots below:

Hmm, what's attached is a URL, not a test case. I think we should also attach a copy of the test case.

Attaching a screenshot of Safari 7 on OS X 10.9 showing the slight rendering difference, since the images in the original post have expired (sorry!).

Because this property is so rare, making a mask isn't unreasonable.
