<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The primary problem with using MathML in Linux is installing the correct fonts and getting the web browser to use them.<br />
Mozilla browsers (non-Firefox) will use the fonts once available. Firefox has other issues that must be dealt with.<br />
The following web pages deal with these issues:<br />
*[http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/fonts/ Fonts for MathML-enabled Mozilla]<br />
*[http://mcelrath.org/Notes/MathML Notes on MathML]<br />
<br />
In the case of Debian Linux, MathML rendering can be gotten to work using the following steps:<br />
* Install both of the following Debian packages, which contain fonts used by Mozilla in rendering MathML characters:<br />
** latex-xft-fonts<br />
** ttf-opensymbol<br />
* For Firefox, you need to disable Pango by creating a file called "rc" in your "~/.mozilla/firefox" directory that contains the following text, with NO spaces: MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1</div>Ben
