Say I had no clue that mathml-fonts were needed to properly view the
blog of my Physics professor. I might not even know what mathml is. It
just works because something else pulled them in as a dependency.
Grasping at straws, eh? If firefox supports mathml and needs
mathml-fonts to display properly, then perhaps firefox should be
depending on mathml-fonts. Or at least putting up some kind of message
like "This page cannot be displayed properly, you need mathml-fonts".
