Last year, I had written some description of math fonts for MathML rendering [1]. I'm resurrecting this discussion since "STIX Two" was released last December with a complete redesign of the text portion [2]. "STIX Two Math" is now usable by WebKit for MathML rendering and is included in the default stylesheet after [3]. Among available options, "STIX Two Math" provides the best coverage for unicode characters and stretchy math operators. Also, some users prefer it over the more traditional Computer Modern style of LaTeX systems [4]. I believe it would greatly improve user experience if STIX Two was pre-installed on WebKit platforms. And as discussed in the original thread, this would also help for MathML testing on mac. (FYI, there are some bug entries to upgrade the STIX package of Linux distributions. I also just updated my macOS Sierra to 10.12.2 but the bundled STIX fonts are still from the obsolete & deprecated STIXGeneral set...)
