More from Davide:

OK, I built the cmss10 font files and put them on the extra-fonts
download page at
http://www.math.union.edu/~dpvc/jsMath/download/extra-fonts/
where you can download the image fonts to install on your server, and
the TTF files for your clients. Loading the cmss10 font will cause the
\mathsf command to be defined. It is also possible to make the \mathsf
command be predefined to load the cmss font when it is first used (so
you don't have the overhead of loading the cmss font when it is not
used). To do this, use the commands
jsMath.Macro("mathsf","{\\cmss #1}",1);
jsMath.Extension.Font("cmss");
Hope that takes care of your needs.
Davide
