Currently, our fonts are: font-family: Cambria Math, Latin Modern Math, STIX Math, LatinModernMathWOFF, MathJax_Main, STIXGeneral, serif; The GUST people are currently working on fixing the ascent/descent bugs in their fonts. When this is ready, we should update our WOFF fonts and try to always use Latin Modern Math by default. This will give a default rendering consistent with the current PNG image rendering (computer modern style). (Of course users could still easily rely on custom stylesheets or browser add-ons to change the default font-family)
I assume you will keep track of this?
The GUST people upgraded their MATH fonts. However, I'm not sure the ascent/descent bug is 100% fixed. I'll come back later on that.
Change 164796 had a related patch set uploaded by Frédéric Wang: Modify the math font-family for native MathML https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/164796
Change 164796 merged by jenkins-bot: Upgrade Latin Modern Math to 1.959 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/164796
I'm closing this bug since some versions of Windows (without hardware acceleration) have some bugs that prevent to use Latin Modern Math for now. At least the two commits should improve the font-family a bit and users could use custom CSS if they wish.
