Math fonts

symfontconfig.tar

By dropping the fonts from the symfont fix package into ~/.fonts, one can view pages like Mathematical Constants and Computation, Perimeter of an Ellipse, and pages converted by TTH. I still don't fully understand why the font gets recognized as iso8859-1, even though the EncodingScheme is ``FontSpecific''. One also needs to use a ``recent'' (probably GTK2+) build of Firefox or Mozilla, the kind that try to do antialiased fonts. It might be necessary to run fc-cache to generate the index files.

jsMath displays some awesomely rendered mathematics. drop the BaKoMa Tex fonts into ~/.fonts. The fonts are supposedly also available at CTAN and mozilla mathML
