Package: iceweasel
Version: 38.1.0esr-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

>From the MDN page "Fonts for Mozilla's MathML engine" for Gecko >= 31.0:

"the MathJax TeX fonts are now deprecated in favor of the Latin Modern Math font [...] Support for MathJax TeX fonts has been removed from Gecko 41.0 (Firefox 41.0 / Thunderbird 41.0 / SeaMonkey 2.38)."

(https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/MathML_Project/Fonts)

I'm attaching a patch to replace "MathJax TeX" with "Latin Modern Math" in the list of suggested packages.
