When I attempt to load a worksheet from my server with IE7, I get a  
dialog "In order for jsMath to be able to load the additional  
components that it may need, the jsMath.js file must be loaded from a  
server in the same domain as the page that contains it.  Because that  
is not the case for this page, the mathematics displayed here may not  
appear correctly."  When I view worksheets in IE, I see raw latex  
where I should see rendered latex.

In IE, nothing happens when I click on the jsMath button at the bottom  
right - i.e. I cannot open the jsMath control panel. Also note that  
the jsMath button is only seen when I scroll all the way to the end of  
the worksheet, unlike with other browsers where it is always visible  
at the bottom right of the screen.  I assume IE is not properly  
rendering this element.

In Firefox, no jsMath font dialogs appear, and the latex code is  
rendered.  The font mode is shown as "Image symbol fonts", and the  
jsMath version is 3.6a.

At sabenb.org, I get no jsMath font warnings in IE.  Initially, I see  
raw latex, but eventually it is replaced with properly rendered  
latex.  The control panel shows the font mode as "Image symbol fonts".

I viewed my server again in IE, and had the same problems that I  
reported above.

I conclude that I have a problem with the image font installation on  
my server.  But I have no idea how to troubleshoot it.

For info, my public worksheets are at https://99.240.209.8:8000/pub/
