Actually, the dictionaries are now (since 3.6 and officially since 3.7) ordered, so the results should be *more* deterministic. Another option is to create a visual diff of the output e.g. using ImageMagick. rst2pdf does this in its test suite (https://github.com/rst2pdf/rst2pdf/tree/master/rst2pdf/tests). -- Christoph
