http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Modern reference "Computer Modern" has the default font for TeX. The wikipage also mention the "Latin Modern" which we might want to use has a default instead?

Anyway the related Ubuntu Precise packages seems to be:

• lmodern - Latin Modern
• cm-super - all of Computer Modern

I am not sure which puppet class is used for math.

apaches::fonts just install texlive-fonts-recommended which, on Precise seems to provide cmextra which could be the Computer Modern font.

I'm not sure. Isn't it possible to exactly find out which font is used by the renderer.

I proposed the addition of the 'cm-super' packages with https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/15550

Note that will not magically rerender the already rendered math PNG.

That's not the point of this enhancement report. I'm not asking for the inline <math> equations to be SVG images. I want the same font to be available for SVG diagrams accompanying the equations/formulae.

I read the change, it states "When rendering <math /> elements in SVG, the client side renderer seems to use the Computer Modern fonts as a default."
I don't suppose <math /> elements are in SVG. They are in normal wikitext. The <text /> elements with Computer Modern font should be rendered in SVG and the fonts not substituted to the fall back Liberation Serif font (as I believe happens currently. I'm talking purely of SVG image files, the reference to <math /> was just to identify the exact font although I believe cm-super would do it.

I have honestly no idea how librsvg select the default font or how it fallback. If it is somehow made to fallback to "Computer Modern", the change will make the font available.

Do you have any SVG file example?

Gauravjuveker,

I have downloaded this file https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bd/Test.svg (it's 2012-07-13T18:39:49 UTC version) and I don't see any math element there.

What it does it tries to get

font-family="CMU Serif" font-style="italic"

from the rendering. On my system I don't have "CMU Serif" font so it gets substituted to something else by rsvg (and actually it goes a bit off-side)

Did you try to put a real MathML tags in the file?

(I have changed the subject line to be more precise)

gauravjuvekar wrote:

No, I don't know much about MathML or how it can be embedded in SVG. Also, I don't want to create SVG images of equations so MathMl wouldn't really be useful. Also, by
"On my system I don't have "CMU Serif" font so it gets substituted to something else by rsvg",
do you mean that the preview on the file description page gets its font substituted or opening it in full gets it substituted because opening it in full makes the image render by your browsers renderer. Doesn't rsvg convert the SVG image to raster thumbnails on various pages where the file is used including the file description page?

Okay but it doesn't seem to work. See http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Segment_definition.svg It uses the cmr10 font family from cm-super but still the text gets substituted for other fonts.

Indeed, cm-super provides fonts for Latex and no TTF fonts that librsvg could use :(

So we got them all according to font-config:

The file linked uses crm10 as a font name which in turns is resolved to "DejaVu Sans" "Book" :

$ fc-match cmr10
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"
$

I guess we need some alias in font-config.

I have created an alias using fontconfig: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/22533

$ fc-match cmr10
sffb1000.pfb: "Computer Modern" "Fibonacci Medium"
$

Should be "Roman" style though, but I have not find a way to set the style preference :(

Running rsvg under strace, it se
open("/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/sffb1000.pfb", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/proc/meminfo", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf", O_RDONLY) = 3

Will attach the resulting output

Let me know if the rendering from attachment 11061 looks correct to you.

Attachment 11062 looks exactly the way I see it when opened in my browser and in inkscape.(I installed cm-super on my Linux Mint setup and I can select cmr10 as an option in Inkscape.)

Note:The intersection symbol that looks like an 'n' is slightly wider in my browser when opening the actual file from commons.

Font in attachment 11061 is slightly bigger(the overscore should be exactly on top of the last AB).

Are you sure you named the attachments right, because "file rendered using a default Precise install (aka no Computer Modern font installed) " is more correct and I suppose it has the exact computer modern font.(how could this be if the font is not installed?)

Maybe I have mixed up the previous attachements (11062 & 11061).

File in attachement 11066 has been made using patchset 2 of Gerrit change #22533. Aka:

$ fc-match cmr10

On a similar note, could you also create aliases for cmmi10(mainly used in formulas where the convention is to use italic lowercase variables), cmsy10 and cmex10 fonts provided with the same cm-super package?

Most probably doable. Would you mind creating a SVG file containing example for all the four fonts? Would let me convert it to PNG on the integration machine so you can validate the output :-)

The possible style aliases would be:

cmmi10 : "Italic"

cmsy10 seems to be for symbols and cmex10 for extensions. Maybe that is included by default and we could reuse the "Roman" style there too.

Rendering is correct. Now that you mention ttf-lyx, that's where the fonts become available in inkscape.
