Not IME. For most display tests I can think of, small variations in
the dimensions don't matter, and where they do, we can always arrange
for exact matches. Look at the large fraction of display problems
that we usually succeed in reproducing on a completely different
system.
I guess we have very different experiences regarding this, or maybe we
think about very different aspects to test.
