Bug 402869 – media-fonts/jsmath-extra-dark-1.0 is missing jsMath-cmmib10

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Erik Quaeghebeur 2012-02-09 15:24:40 UTC]

I installed jsmath-1.0 and jsmath-extra-dark-1.0; when going to http://www.math.union.edu/~dpvc/jsMath/download/extra-fonts/, all fonts render without error, except for http://www.math.union.edu/~dpvc/jsMath/download/extra-fonts/cmmib10/cmmib10.html

I guess it is just missing from the tar.bz2 made by the packaging gentoo dev. (BTW, thanks for making jsmath available in portage)

I did not check the light version.

Reproducible: Always

Strange the gentoo tar ball contains jsMath-cmmib10.ttf, and comparing it from the one upstream, there is no difference.

Indeed; I was too quick to assume. The font file is installed correctly and available to my browser. Can you confirm that you also get the "Extra TeX fonts not found: jsMath-cmmib10" red box on <http://www.math.union.edu/~dpvc/jsMath/download/extra-fonts/cmmib10/cmmib10.html>?

If so, I'll contact upstream about it.

I can't reproduce your issue. On my browser (chromium 17), all fonts mentioned rendered fine.

Indeed, it also works correctly in rekonq...
So Firefox may be involved. I'll test on another machine to see whether some local configuration issue is in play.

If anybody else could test on firefox, that would be helpful.

It may be upstream:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=862558&aid=3311978&group_id=172663

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ttf-jsmath/+bug/792980

Did you verify (e.g., by selection for copy-paste) that indeed Chromium loads the fonts and not silently uses image files instead?

yes it does. might be a firefox javascript bug. also it seems jsmath upstream does not seem to answer the issue.

reported upstream FF:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=731748

I will report back if I get anything useful.

[Comment 8 Erik Quaeghebeur 2014-02-19 09:56:44 UTC]

I suggest to close this as WONTFIX because of dead upstream and the package being deprecated in favor of MathJax.
