Square roots not correctly rendered in MathML

[Alessandro Polverini]

Binary package hint: firefox

The rendering of the "torture page" for MathML is well rendered except for the square roots: a black square is rendered instead.

You can find the test page here:

did this ever work for you?

If you have all fonts installed, try to start Firefox in console after executing this: export MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1 .
Worked for me.

Is this still a problem in Firefox 3?

[Alessandro Polverini (polve)]

Actual behavior seems worse than with FF2.

Just follow the link to see what I mean: while now the square root seems to work there is something more that get not interpreted and the page is full of tags rendering it unreadable.

The problem exhibits also on the other pages of the test:
http://www.w3.org/Math/testsuite/testsuite/TortureTests/Complexity/complex2.xml
http://www.w3.org/Math/testsuite/testsuite/TortureTests/Complexity/complex3.xml
http://www.w3.org/Math/testsuite/testsuite/TortureTests/Complexity/complex4.xml

Anyway accessing the page from
http://www.w3.org/Math/testsuite/mml2-testsuite/index.html
seems to yield a correct result so I don't know if the problem is normal or not (I think not)

the pakcage named "firefox" is only related to firefox-2.0

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

Hello Vish, it seems like the rendering is correct in current firefox 3.6.6, please close the bug as fixed, thanks!

Works in current release
