Re: Math Fonts for Iceweasel and MathJax
[Please CC me in your replies as I'm not subscribed to debian-devel@].
Now I've added two new packages to mathjax source (see my packaging
branch at [1]):
- fonts-mathjax: contains OTF, SVG and WOFF fonts (installed in the
previous location, with a /usr/share/fonts/opentype/mathjax →
/usr/share/javascript/mathjax/fonts/HTML-CSS/TeX/otf symlink);
- fonts-mathjax-extras: contains PNG and EOT fonts (installed in the
previous location).
I hope this will suit everybody, but please mention if you don't like
this scheme.
