Description matanya 2012-07-29 13:44:44 UTC

Seems like mathjax doesn't have anti-aliasing on wikimedia sites (or doesn't have support at all?) 

This leads to not-very-pretty rendering on some mathematical symbols.

See the Integral on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math/MathJax_testing#Summation for example.

Comment 1 Derk-Jan Hartman 2012-07-29 14:21:11 UTC

Isn't the font just too small ? Most operating systems stop using anti aliasing when fonts are below a certain size.

Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2012-07-30 21:04:19 UTC

It's anti-aliased for me in Chrome and Firefox on Mac OS X 10.8... can you add browser details and a screenshot?

Comment 4 Brion Vibber 2012-07-30 22:19:31 UTC

I see subpixel antialiasing on everything in that screenshot. What seems to be the problem?

Comment 5 matanya 2012-07-31 07:48:05 UTC

Now I see why. If you zoom in or out from 100% it looks antialiased. see detailed screenshot

Comment 6 matanya 2012-07-31 07:48:51 UTC

Created attachment 10909 [details]
the same screenshot with 400% zoom

Comment 7 Derk-Jan Hartman 2012-07-31 22:17:28 UTC

@matanya are you 100% sure you actually have MathJax enabled in your preferences ? cause that looks like the PNG mode.

Comment 8 matanya 2012-08-01 11:54:11 UTC

I'm stupid. I was logged-out from my account.
