That's because I installed the jsmath-image-fonts-1.3 spkg into
sagenb.org's sage install.   I have jsmath-image-fonts-1.3 and not
jsmath-image-fonts-1.3p1 installed; that could make a difference.

I'm guessing that whatever jsmath-image-fonts-1.3* you're installing
is totally broken.  Try typing

sage -f jsmath-image-fonts-1.3
