um, implement it and submit a patch? :)

oh, yeah, you already said it.  I'm not doing much better than that 
either right now (well, except I'm not whining :).

Here's what Davide said in December (see bottom of 
http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support/browse_thread/thread/178d0bd277044918):

  I'm not sure why people are getting the
error -7 under these conditions.  It means that something has gone
wrong when trying to load the fallback method, and that usually means
it can't read the image font definition files.  There are a couple of
other possibilities as well:  perhaps the noImageFonts plugin was not
able to be read (permission issue?) or the unicode fallback file could
not be read.  Given your use of noImageFonts, I suspect it may be the
latter.  If the users who are getting error -7 are using Firefox3,
that may well be it.  There were changes to the same-origin security
policy in Firefox3 that prevent jsMath from loading local files from
directories other than the one in which the HTML file is found.  I
worked around this in jsMath v3.6 (released Sept. 2008), so those
users should update to the latest version of jsMath to avoid that
problem.

I spent a few minutes searching through things.  I don't see anything 
obviously wrong with permissions.  We have the almost the latest version 
of jsmath, so his last few sentences shouldn't apply to us (we have 
3.6a; current is 3.6b).
