    Font Mathjax
Click For Summary
MathJax typically defaults to the Computer Modern font if the STIX font is not found on the user's system. To use the STIX font, it is necessary to install the font package correctly. The user has installed the STIX fonts but still sees the default font on websites using MathJax. The issue may stem from the website's configuration, as some sites specify which fonts to use. For example, one site uses TeX as the preferred font but lists STIX as an option. To ensure STIX is used, the website must be configured to prioritize it, and users cannot force the font from their end if the site does not support it.

Hello,
Every website that I go on that has MathJax support displays math in a font that almost looks like the default Computer Modern ##\LaTeX## font. The following is taken from Math Stack Exchange:

I heard that MathJax usually looks for the STIX font located on your computer, and if it does not find it, it will instead resort to the above font. Now, I actually ##\textit{want}## to use STIX font, so I went ahead and downloaded the STIX font package on their website. I got a file with the following contents:

The docs folder only had documentation. Inside the Fonts folder was:

And inside the OTF folder, which is supposedly what I am supposed to use (the others contained webfonts that I don't know how to open nor what to do with), there is:

I opened each and installed the fonts seen here, and they appear as such in the control panel fonts section. However, even after restarting my computer, any website with MathJax does not use STIX fonts.
Can anyone help? Is there something I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any response.

Depends if the website that is using MathJax specifies Stix font for use in their config. On PF we set Tex as the preferred font but list Stix as available. I am unsure how to force Stix on your end.
 
I am having a hell of a time finding a good all-in-one inkjet printer. I must have gone through 5 Canon, 2 HP, one Brother, one Epson and two 4 X 6 photo printers in the last 7 yrs. all have all sort of problems. I don't even know where to start anymore. my price range is $180-$400, not exactly the cheapest ones. Mainly it's for my wife which is not exactly good in tech. most of the problem is the printers kept changing the way it operate. Must be from auto update. I cannot turn off the...
