LaTeX text appearing white on a black background can create readability issues for users. The problem may be related to the browser and operating system being used, as different setups yield varying results. Users have reported that upgrading from Internet Explorer 6 to a more recent version, like IE 8, resolves the issue. Testing with different browsers, such as Firefox and Chrome, shows that LaTeX renders correctly in those environments. Ensuring an updated browser can significantly improve the readability of LaTeX-generated content.
