No, since I am generating the PDF entirely in Perl. I think what is
happening is that I have been outputting floating point numbers into
strings without using sprintf and so there are slight rounding
differences on different architectures/compilers. I thought I had nailed
all the occurrences, but find I hadn't. So I've tried again and there is
a 0.10.1 in the wild that the test engines should pick up. Failing that,
I am going to need to ask for copies of the failed temporary file
t/testfont.pdf so that I can see where the differences are coming from.
The test only deletes the temporary file if the test passes.

Alternatively I could just pull the test ;)

Thanks,
Yours,
Martin
