OK this is the export via elyxer. (Elyxer is a 3rd-party program with
separate documentation and configuration, see
https://github.com/alexfernandez/elyxer)

I tried with a minimal example (file with just a displayed formula
containing dotted q and Q).

Here, if I chose Alt-feh, the generated HTML has no PNGs included (see
below). I can drag-and drop »Q̇q̇« from Firefox.

This may depend on local elyxer setup.

For both or only the capital Q?

Fine, so this seems to work fine at least. I wonder why the PNG should
differ... Do you use custom fonts?

LyXHTML export works fine here as well and Firefox shows the dots at the
right hight and above the variables. (Display may be different in
browsers that have missing or deficient MathML support.)

Hi,

    I am answering Guenter Milde's questions (3 Feb - 12.34) on my
original email to produce a more coherent explanation.

    I simply used export to html (Alt-feh).  The variables were /q/ and
/Q, / the png 's were generated by this process.  There was no
separation between the variables and the dot.

The pdf version (ALT-fef) has a separation between the variables and the
dot.

    I also exported to xhtml (ALT-fey).  Here the dot was not placed
above the variable but as a separate character following it.

Here the relative height of the dot changes.  For the lower case /q/ it
is above.  For the upper case /Q/ it is at the same height as the top of
the /Q/ .

Both;) It also depends on the symbol under the dot.

Does it look better in the PDF output of the same document?

How do you produce the HTML? elyxer or LyXHTML?

Why do you use PNGs? Nowadays most browsers support maths.
