The first two "Tex font" options look good. The third (image fonts) just gives a big red error, and now I'm *stuck* using that option with evidently no way to get out of it, since I can't get the menu anymore -- all I get is "[Math Processing Error]" in red. :-( Can we please change the default to "Tex fonts", or does that only work if one has something special installed? It's a little sad to me that the only way to get the menu is right click. This is somewhat non-mac friendly (and downright hostile to tablets and phones), as we saw often with jmol at the JMM booth where we were constantly tripped up trying to access the jmol menu. The old "jsmath" square button in the bottom right was better. Is there an option for something like that?
