155703 - Enable MathML in Mozilla builds for the Mac

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: MathML, defect)

Description

[Tague Griffith]

Using a build from the tree (7/3/2002), Mac OS X is not rendering MathML correctly.

1) If you look at the roots and the det's, the "container" objects are not being
correctly rendered around the things they contain

2) operators like X and = are not being rendered in the appropriate position
relative to the other elements in the equation

Mac OS X currently does not support Math ML...

See http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/enable.html

Alas no specific bug exist that states Math ML does not work on Mac's. I would
suggest the summary be changed to 'Enable MathML on Mac OS X'.

BTW this bug depends on bug 74821 and bug 107146

So let it be done.

Comment 4

[riscky]

Maybe the severity should be upped since most (all?) platforms have MathML...
not to mention adding MathML would be adding more standards support to Mozilla.

I think it should at least have normal severity.

Bumping severity to blocker. 

The action is going on in bug 74821. If you have a build and can try things out,
go straight to that bug to lend your help...

Comment 6

[Greg K.]

I don't think this is a blocker...

Comment 7

[Greg K.]

If Win and Unix have MathML, then this should have the pp keyword.

Peterv, can you please r= the patch in attachment #91293 [details] [diff] [review]?
Is that all what is needed in order to get mathml in OSX builds ?

r=peterv. That should be all that's needed (and MathML still builds, I've had
it on in my build for a while now).

Thanks to mention here (is this appropriate) when it is expected to be in a
nightly build.

Comment 14

[rbs]

Checked in on the trunk.

First let me thank everyone about it. It's really nice to see this happening.

But, hey, is this bug already closed ?

At least the font-encoding (uvcmath, right?) thingie doesn't seem to be finished
in today's nighlty. At least today's Markup-of-the-week (the black-scholes
equation today) is definitely corrupted.
I had a message saying the symbol font was missing except it's not missing (it
is indeed standard, but not standard encoding I think).

It would be nice if someone would put instructions on how to cvs-checkout just
this bit and possibly have it run without compiling Mozilla (which never worked
on my dual-g4-450).
