http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/demo/texvsmml.xhtml shows correct mathml
font display examples. Firefox (since 1.0.2-1.3.1) will not display correctly.
(This is also the case with Mozilla after 1.7.6-1.2.2).

Fonts were correctly displayed with previous versions (using installation
procedure at http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/fonts/ for Xft-enabled build).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/demo/texvsmml.xhtml

3.

Actual Results:  
Firefox displays incorrect figures.

Expected Results:  
Displayed figures should match test figures at

Shouldn't this be reported in bug 120198?

Right. My mathml torture test display is pretty much identical to attachment
#117840 [details] there.
Thanks.

This is best having its own bug.

It is a total chaos. Did Xft suffer any major surgery recently, jshin?

No. Mozilla.org's Xft build doesn't have any problem with the sample page.

Fedora Core 3 has its own build using blizzard's pango patch (bug 214715).
blizzard added MathML support to pango, but I'm not sure how good it is.
This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

Please reopen this bug, which is about b0rked MathML rendering with the pango backend.
Thanks
Do you see the same result in recent builds of FF as earlier ones?  Much development has happened between the initial report and now.  I'm a Windows user, so I can't check this, sorry.
It's quite similar, except that I don't get the square character with a code for the square root for example. The main problem is the non-alignment of the signs like +, -, <, >, ... which doesn't appear with the xft backend.
The patch in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349906#c4
fixes the problem seen in the URL for --enable-pango builds.

Firefox 2.0.0.8 works for me with --enable-pango.
Do you still see a problem?
If so, can you attach a screenshot, please?
