Font problems in Safari

[d^3p]

I have created a blog http://learningtex.blogspot.com to help myself learn a bit about Tex.

 

It works fine in all browsers. But, some fonts are not rendered in Safari 5.0. How do you solve this kind of problem?

 

Thanks in advance.

I am not able to reproduce the problem.  The fonts work fine for me.

Can you type

javascript:alert(MathJax.Message.Log())

and see if there are any "failed to load" messages anywhere?  It may be that the fonts are taking a while to download, and MathJax is timing out (it has a fairly short timeout for that).

Where would I put that line of code?

 

I put it at the very end and it display "loading [MathJax] etc." in all browsers.

 

Only in Safari 5, not all Frakturs are showing. Only for C. H. I. R and Z are displayed. Others are blank.

 

Thanks,

Note that Safari 5 is displaying caligraphic, blackboard capital, greek and and hundreds of other symbols (except phi for some reason). It is the Frakturs, it is displaying only for 5 letters and rest are blanks.

 

Thanks.

Sorry, you should type that in the URL location box after the page has
loaded.

I will try. But it is going to take quite some time to locate the exact place in the template. The blogger templates are not so easy to understand.

Thanks,

Do you have the STIX fonts installed? It looks like it from the
characters in your screen shot. Try disabling them if you do and see
if that makes a difference.

It is not something you put in the template. Just load the original
page, and then type this by hand into the URL location at the top of
your browser in place of the URL of you blog page. It should cause an
alert to appear with some diagnostic text in it. Let me know what
that text says.

Yes, I have STIX fonts installed.

I have the following

"HTML-CSS": { availableFonts: ["STIX","TeX"] },

in the config only since this morning. Earlier I had only Tex for available fonts. So, I thought maybe if I include STIX, it would help, but it did not.

If I have "HTML-CSS": { availableFonts: ["TeX"] }, in the config, why would it be displaying STIX fonts?

When you disable STIX, you mean just have "HTML-CSS": { availableFonts: ["TeX"] }. Yes?

Thanks.

Actually, I meant removing the STIX fonts from your fonts folder, but
sure, setting availableFonts to just ["TeX"] should work as well.

It looks like Safari on Windows can't display the characters in
Unicode plane 1 from the STIX fonts, which is where most of the
Fraktur, Blackboard Bold, and other math alphabetic characters are
located. A few Fraktur and Blackboard Bold glyphs are located in
unicode plane 0, so they appear, but the others don't. Looks like a
Safari/Windows bug, or perhaps a STIX font problem. I checked both
Safari 5 and Safari 4 on Windows XP, but you have checked Windows 7
(and Vista?) so it looks like it is a Safari problem.
