There are other mathematical unicode The OpenType MATH table contains information about [[MathML:CompositeChars_and_Variants|Composite Chars and Variants]]. The purpose is to directly read the tables in the fonts that would be interesting contain this information rather than maintaining our own mathfonts*.properties ({{bug|407059}}). This will enable us to supportmore mathematical unicode fonts. Let's mention two of them:
However, [[MathML:CompositeChars_and_Variants|Composite Chars and Variants]] for these fonts are built with non-unicode glyphs and so we can not use our mechanism in its present form.

== Support for More OpenType MATH table and Unicode Fonts ==
* Cambria Math, which is distributed with many Microsoft product. See {{bug|372351}}
* Neo Euler, a free OpenType version of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMS_Euler|AMS Euler]. See {{bug|622576}}
== Improve font installation ==
Various Unicode fonts are already installed by default on many systems and we should try to support them. However, we should also ensure that supported fonts are ''really'' installed so that users do not wonder why MathML is no working correctly on their system. In former versions of Mozilla, a pop-up dialog appeared and invited the user to go to the [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozilla_MathML_Project/Fonts Fonts] for MathML-enabled Mozilla page. This dialog was really not a pleasant UI and has been removed. People proposed to add some kind of automated installation {{bug|233950}} {{bug|295193}}. One possible direction could be to use [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=295193#c12 downloadable fonts].
