Thanks for posting the new example. I have found that the problem is due to the fact that Sage puts the output inside a block, and IE7 gets confused about some of its measurements in that case. It can be fixed by including span.typeset { white-space: normal; } in the css/main.css fil

It looks like this notebook no longer uses jsMath to render the result of var('n m'), so I can't reproduce the problem you describe. I do know that jsMath was used earlier when we were looking at the IE font issue. Did this change as a result of the Sage update that you did, or is it something y

OK, from the testing that I've done, it looks like this is, indeed, the problem, and you won't have to do the testing that I suggested. It turns out that this problem was fixed in version 3.6b of jsMath, and you are running 3.6a, so if you download the latest version of jsMath and replace the cop

this is really the problem. In the meanwhile, I will work on that part of the jsMath code and get it to include the port number. Davide On Apr 20, 11:15 am, Kevin Horton wrote: > On 20 Apr 2009, at 10:16, Jason Grout wrote: > > > > > dpvc wrote: > >>> By work

I do not think it is a jsMath bug. If I understand you, by "works correctly" you mean that Firefox doesn't show the font warning message (while IE7 does, which you consider not working correctly). You have tried several means of installing the jsMath image fonts as a solution to this problem. T

The real problem is not the missing fonts, but the fact that sage doesn't include the jsMath image fonts that are supposed to be used when the jsMath TeX fonts aren't available. I'm sure this was not included because it was considered to be too large a component, but it really should be, as it wo
