Rendering of MathML in the latest firefox is seriously wrong, with
characters either much too high or much too low, and horizontal bars
(e.g., fractions) are much too thick.

An example URL is http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/demo/texvsmml.xhtml
The superscripts in #1 and the subscripts in #2 are too high and too low,
respectively.  In #3 the plus signs are raised up and the horizontal bar
is too thick.

It seems that the conversion from points to pixels for vertical dimensions
may be the problem.

Hi,

I have no problem with my Firefox 1.5, MathML works correctly.
Maybe you didn't install some font, or you suffer from this bug:

Yes, perhaps.  Paul, please try the workaround mentioned in that but.

Nicolas, you should know that mailing to n@bugs normally won't reach
the submitter; use n-submitter@bugs, or a combination of the
submitters address and n@bugs.

Thanks
Justin
