I'll wait and see what they look like when they are officially released. So far, the fonts I've been playing with (beta versions) have some obvious errors for operators. It is unclear when they will be officially released. -- --Alex Milowski "The excellence of grammar as a guide is proportional to the paucity of the inflexions, i.e. to the degree of analysis effected by the language considered."

I'm also involved in implementing MathML and I share the Alex advice. MathML implementation has been asleep for too long. Turning it on by default should accelerate the recent progress.

[webkit-dev] Turning on MathML by Default?
With the latest patch (37044) having been committed, I feel like we're at a point where I'd like the MathML implementation to be available in the nightly builds. The code has been built and tested successfully on the Mac and Gtk builds. I intend to look at the windows build next. We have a growing community of developers and interested users and having a nightly build with MathML would allow testing, submission of issues, and receipt of fixes. What do others think? -- --Alex Milowski "The excellence of grammar as a guide is proportional to the paucity of the inflexions, i.e. to the degree of analysis effected by the language considered."
