Mathjax font errors in firefox
02 Apr 2016I started getting errors in firefox recently complaining about Math Processing Errors
and problems loading imagefonts. It was sort of like this bug where a file called imagedata.js
was not getting loaded.
Mathjax shouldn't have to use imagefonts in any modern browser; mathjax was working perfectly in chrome for example. So what had happened was I'd unchecked the
Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above
under Preferences > Content > Advanced.
My firefox version is
Mozilla Firefox 45.0.1
It's also interesting to note that the usual packages in ArchLinux and Ubuntu don't package MathJax image fonts by default. These are however available in their github repository.
