Bug#697277: [iceweasel] Suggest MathJax and Asana fonts for better MathML rendering

Thu Jan 3 14:23:53 UTC 2013

Package: iceweasel
Version: 17.0.1-1~bpo60+1
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

STIX fonts are currently suggested to be installed with Iceweasel, but 
MathJax and Asana fonts should be suggested too. See the discussions on 
debian-devel at lists.debian.org, the upstream bug report 
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=295193), the MDN page 
(https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla_MathML_Project/Fonts) 
and my blog for more explanations. Essentially this will give a much 
better browsing experience for Iceweasel & MathJax users. This will 
become particularly important to view mathematics on Wikipedia in a near 
future.

The Asana package is "fonts-oflb-asana-math" and Dmitry has prepared a 
MathJax package "fonts-mathjax" (not sure if it is integrated in Debian 
yet). The MathML fonts can be tested here:
