Thanks for the feedback; please test the fixes.
I really hate to write this, but it's important. Evidently, I have
never seriously looked at MathJax before just now, I guess, because my
first reaction is that Mathjax looks like "crap" compared to jsmath,
at least with Chrome 16.0.912.75 on OS X 10.7. The very first thing I
tried was "show(2/3* x^(3/2 + pi))". On sagenb.org with jsmath it
looks amazing -- just like pdflatex output. On test.sagenb.org it
looks horrible to my eye -- definitely nowhere close to tex or even
jsmath.
Even the example in the upper right of http://www.mathjax.org/ (at
that site) looks bad to me (which is also in the screenshot).
In Safari things look equally bad. In Firefox they look... a bit better.
Do I have to install special fonts? What am I doing wrong? If this
is really what MathJax looks like, I definitely don't want to switch
to MathJax.
The issue is that it is probably using your browser's STIX fonts rather
than standard Computer Modern TeX fonts. I just pushed a change to
test.sagenb.org that lets you select which font to use. Can you
right-click on a MathJax expression, click Settings, then Font
Preference, and select a TeX font and see if that solves your problem?
Thanks,
Jason
