After landing the font sanitizer (bug 527276), reftest 404149-1.xul failed on OS X64 opt only - not on OS X64 debug, and not on i386 (opt or debug).

It's logical that this test could be affected by the sanitizer, as it uses a downloadable Arabic-script OpenType font, and OTS strips the OpenType layout tables. However, I don't see why the behavior should depend on i386 vs x64, or opt vs debug.

Looking at the reftest log, it's not clear to me whether this test is actually working as intended on OS X anyway. Neither the testcase nor reference show any visible underlined glyphs, so it is hard to tell what is going on.

With OTS effectively disabling the downloaded test font, the result may depend on local fonts on the machine, so differing machine configurations might explain the result.

Accordingly, I'm intending to mark this test as random on OS X for the time being, pending further investigation.

Mass marking whiteboard:[orange] bugs WFM (to clean up TBPL bug suggestions) that:
* Haven't changed in > 6months
* Whose whiteboard contains none of the strings: {disabled,marked,random,fuzzy,todo,fails,failing,annotated,leave open,time-bomb}
* Passed a (quick) manual inspection of bug summary/whiteboard to ensure they weren't a false positive.

I've also gone through and searched for cases where the whiteboard wasn't labelled correctly after test disabling, by using attachment description & basic comment searches. However if the test for which this bug was about has in fact been disabled/annotated/..., please accept my apologies & reopen/mark the whiteboard appropriately so this doesn't get re-closed in the future (and please ping me via IRC or email so I can try to tweak the saved searches to avoid more edge cases).
