Description Feng Yu 2009-10-26 02:08:56 UTC
Please update wxMaxima to 0.8.3a.

0.8.3a fixes a severe problem saving the worksheet with png plots to wxmx format.
It also adds fancy jsMath font for the display.

jsMath font can be obtained at 

http://www.math.union.edu/~dpvc/jsmath/download/jsMath-fonts.html

It has been packaged for debian, not yet for Fedora.

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2009-10-26 03:21:17 UTC
I can help make the update happen.

Unfortunate about the use of jsMath fonts, they're close to lyx/mathml fonts that already exist in fedora too.  I'll contact the author, see if we can avoid yet-another-fork of bakoma tex fonts

Comment 2 Feng Yu 2009-10-26 03:31:29 UTC
thank you.

The only font that is essentially missing in fedoa is the cmti10 one. If we can add that one to maths-fonts then a minor patch that maps to fedora font name should do it.

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2009-10-26 15:53:42 UTC
fyi, submitted jsMath-fonts for review:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=531040

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2009-10-26 15:55:00 UTC
Long story-short, jsMath-fonts have a different development history than the lyx-derived ones, and little change (at least in the short term) of merging efforts or sharing here.
