Christoph, i'm looking into this. I discovered that for some reason the text is much harder to read on Blink-based browsers (like Chrome) on a Mac than other browsers. Would that explain why you're having a problem, or is it something else?
Most of the tests in the W3C Internationalization test suite have now been ported to github at github.com/w3c/i18n-tests/. Follow the links from w3.org/International/tests/ to find test results, then click in the left column of that page to run a test.
