msqrt - the square root function does not render correctly on Windows 2000
(possibily other Win32 platforms also)

It appears as a solid black box, and pushes away other elements instead of
bringing them under the sqrt.
mozilla.org's own torture test #13 (url above) reveals this error.

I am attaching screen shots. I will also try to create a testcase with the
minimum markup needed to reproduce.

I'm using Build ID: 2001112310 on Windows 2000.
OK, so I noticed the note on the fonts page
(http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/fonts/) that says:
"If you see symbols (like the square-root symbol) that appear jagged, then you
are not using TeX fonts from the Bakoma collection."

However, I installed the BakoMa fonts, and rebooted, and got the second
screenshot - question marks. Even worse. The workaround did *not* fix the
problem - perhaps it's for a different issue.
I am resolving the bug as WORKSFORME although it could also be marked as a 
duplicate of one the other bugs about msqrt. This behavior typically means that 
the fonts are not installed properly. Are you using ATM (Adobe Type Manager) or 
smothing?
