SVN checkout is 53 MB, after unzipping fonts.zip it all occupies 171
MB.

spkg. If we added MathJax to Sage, it might be good to strip out the
image fonts and distribute them separately as a mathjax-image-fonts spkg
(mathjax faq tells how to do this, I believe). Somewhere I have a half-
finished prototype of this solution.

folks did was host the MathJax fonts on Amazon S3, and then not include
them in their distribution. I don't know if that would work for you, but
I wanted to point it out.
That's a very interesting solution. I suppose we could host them on the
main sage webserver, for example. Or maybe Google Code or something like
that so we had redundant sources.
