Installing Math Fonts for Netscape, Mozilla, or Firefox

These browsers have support for MathML display if you install the fonts needed.

• Windows and Mac users please follow these instructions.

• Redhat Linux (Fedora) users without root access may follow Linux specific instructions on this page.

• Redhat Linux (Fedora) users (as root) may:

  yum install mathml-fonts
  

  Note: On some systems (FC8), installing mathml fonts can have a side effect of breaking Arial and other Liberation fonts on Linux that substitute for MS true-type fonts, causing your browser to render Arial and other such fonts incorrectly.

  The fix: download msttcorefonts-2.0-1.fc8.noarch.rpm (to /usr/local say) then install these MS TT Fonts by

  cd /usr/local
  rpm -ivh  msttcorefonts-2.0-1.fc8.noarch.rpm
  

• After installing MathML fonts you may test your browser by visiting this page.
