I was testing out Mozilla's support for MathML (with the

Okay, so it seems the problem is at my end. I have my Windows fonts
installed in /usr/local/share/fonts and this is referenced in
/etc/fonts/local.conf like so:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- /etc/fonts/local.conf file for local customizations -->
<fontconfig>
<dir>/usr/local/share/fonts</dir>
</fontconfig>
Well, I decided to try commenting out that dir element and restarting X.
Now when I go to
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/start.xhtml
the page is displayed correctly but Mozilla/Firefox pops up a warning
dialog saying the following:
To properly display the MathML on this page you need to install
the following fonts:
Symbol.
For further information see:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/fonts
Huh? (a) the page is displayed correctly, and (b) I am certain that the
Symbol font is included in FC2:

Admittedly, the above Adobe fonts are Type 1 fonts, but Xft understands
both Type 1 and True Type fonts, doesn't it?
Anyway, I guess I can re-enable my Windows fonts if I remove the Windows
Symbol font, which was probably the one causing the problems, but I am
rather puzzled by Mozilla telling me that I don't have a Symbol font
installed in that case. Do others get the same warning?
TIA, Darren
