Then you still need to manually set "use non-TeX fonts", but no longer guess which font is actually used in the tests. * A proper fix would be to fix Ticket #9931 (command line option to use/keep specified tempdir) and use this in the test scripts, so that the test would not just say: "there is an error" but also log the actuall reason for this error.
