Our grid baseline tests (from bug 1256429) are all marked "skip-if(!gtkWidget)" because they depend on exact font metrics, which happen to be Just Right on our linux test machines (but not on any other platforms). This was the case when they landed, here: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/2b4dfcc5160c9557397bcf7a366e94def8731999#l13.12 Unfortunately, the linux font metrics are no longer Just Right after we've upgraded those machines (per bug 1309086). So in that bug, we're changing these tests from mostly-disabled to entirely-disabled. So: we need to fix these tests to not depend so heavily on specific font metrics (or alternately, to use the Ahem font which has predictable behavior cross-platform).

(Oh, sorry -- looks like maybe they already use Ahem? Hmm.)

These tests use the Ahem font, which I thought were enough to get predictable "px" offsets to compare the baseline with across platforms, but apparently not. I think we have reasonable protection against regressions though as long as we run these tests on at least one platform, because the implementation of grid baselines is all cross-platform code. (This bug seems rather low priority for that reason.)

I object to that change if they still pass on Linux32.

grid-item-mixed-baseline-004.html is still passing on Ubuntu 16.04, so that is not affected by bug 1309086. It is skip-if(!gtkWidget) due to this bug.
