rst2pdf/0.101: Tests failure when building the debian package

[sandrotosi]

Hello! i maintain rst2pdf in Debian and while packaging 0.101 i decided to start running the unittests provided in the source tarballs. Most of them succeed but a few are failing:

FAILED tests/input/test-referencing-an-aliased-font.rst::test-referencing-an-aliased-font

FAILED tests/input/test_slides.rst::test_slides
FAILED tests/input/sphinx-issue252/conf.py::sphinx-issue252
FAILED tests/input/sphinx-issue257/conf.py::sphinx-issue257

the full build log is rst2pdf_0.101-1_amd64.build.txt (the tests results are at the end, both for Python 3.11 and 3.12) and they are mostly because the diff threshold was higher than expected.

Im wondering if we can do something to make the tests succeed; the full list of dependencies installed is in the build log but:

🖥 Versions

# python3.11 -V
Python 3.11.7
# python3.12 -V
Python 3.12.1

pip freeze | grep rst2pdf
0.101

pip freeze | grep reportlab
4.0.9-1

pip freeze | grep Sphinx
7.2.6

Which operating system are you using?

Debian unstable

thanks!

Thanks for letting us know Sandro. The tests work locally for me and passed on CI in #1181 just now, so there's something different here. I'll look into it.

When rebuilding the package for Arch Linux for the Python 3.12 rebuild I'm running into a similar set of failures:

Hi,
It would be helpful if you could provide the generated PDF and log file that is in tests/output for these failed tests.
