[Bug 7208] Change font for texvc-generated images
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7208 --- Comment #9 from Markus Krötzsch mar...@semantic-mediawiki.org --- The font is specified in the preamble of the LaTeX document that is compiled to create the PNG images that MediaWiki uses to display math. This preamble used to be a fixed part of the source code, which was not configurable. Maybe this changed (the bug is 6 years old now ...). (Side remark: today there seem to be better solutions for Web math use, especially MathJax, http://www.mathjax.org/; using this might solve font issues in a more general way.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Thanks for the clarification, this needs to be checked but it's definitely easier with this pointer.

If not, are you sure this bug shouldn't be in Wikimedia product rather than this MediaWiki component? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7208 Miraceti hofm...@aldebaran.cz changed: What|Removed |Added CC||hofm...@aldebaran.cz --- Comment #7 from Miraceti hofm...@aldebaran.cz 2009-06-11 09:02:54 UTC --- I would also like to see some solution of this problem. The font used in a text is about small (css keyword) nowadays, as it is common in the Web. The font used for generating formulas in png is significantly larger and it is a serif font. This breaks the whole page often and special style guide-lines are to be kept if the page should be at least a bit readable. The problem is nicely illustrated in existence of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Bigmath . If the formulas were displayed well, no such template would be necessary. There are two possible solutions: 1) Leave a common Web font habits and start to use medium size fonts in common text. Medium size is closer (for most users) to the font size used in png formulas. 2) Change the font size in png formulas to smaller. Unfortunately, this can affect the readability of the formulas. I understand the solution will never be perfect for everybody and it will always have drawbacks. Users use different font size as their defaults. But let's make the problem at least smaller if it cannot be solved completely. Another, let's say half solution, would be allowing editors to change the font in png formulas at least in cases when formula is inline. \textstyle in TeX changes the way how the formula is typed but does not change the font size. Math template ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Math ) is not always the solution and it is quite difficult to use (and the template itself must be implemented in every project separately). As a plus, it would be nice if the user of Wikimedia projects could easily switch between serif and sans-serif fonts in their settings. Serif font mode would also make math articles more readable. I am not sure if png formulas in sans-serif fonts would be the best idea. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.
