Make math fonts configurable

• Component: MathML
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Frédéric Wang (:fredw)]

Currently, this can be done with CSS in author's web page or user's custom stylesheet etc

I'm not even sure a built-in mechanism exists for text fonts but maybe we want that for math fonts.

See http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/MathML/Fonts#CustomizingMathFont

Note that font-family in Gecko is reset to serif and the actual selection of the default math font and fallback are listed in font.name.serif.x-math and font.name-list.serif.x-math configuration options. These options are accessible from the font preference menu of Firefox.

See also https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mathml-font-settings/ for an example of add-on allowing font customization.

Exactly. We don’t need a new mechanism for this unless we have some idea about how to do it better.
