MathML/Fonts

 == Overview ==
 
-Fonts with appropriate Unicode coverage and OpenType features are required for good math rendering. Maintainers of WebKit ports and operating systems should ensure that such fonts are available to get more reliable results on MathML tests and to maximize user experience. WebKit users encountering troubles with the rendering of MathML are encouraged to check that such a font is installed on their system. They are also invited to configure the default math font to match their preference.

+
+== Unicode Coverage ==
+
+In order to display various scientific and technical symbols, math fonts should cover the largest possible subset of [https://www.w3.org/TR/xml-entity-names/#blocks Unicode Character Ranges for Scientific Documents] and more specifically:
+
+* [https://www.w3.org/TR/xml-entity-names/#alphabets Mathematical Alphanumeric Characters]
+
+* [https://www.w3.org/TR/MathML3/appendixc.html#oper-dict.entries-table Operators from the MathML dictionary].
+
+Mathematical Alphanumeric Characters are required to display variables with their default mathematical italic style and to support the `mathvariant` attribute. However, the former is currently done with CSS ([https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155018 bug 155018]) and the latter is not implemented yet ([https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108778 bug 108778]).
+
+== Open Font Format features ==
+
+Development is in progress to [http://www.mathml-association.org/MathMLinHTML5/ make our MathML support rely on TeX rules and OpenType features]. Below are some features that should be provided by math fonts and implemented in WebKit:
+
+=== MathConstants table ===
+
+=== MathGlyphInfo table ===
+
+=== MathVariants table ===
+
+=== Tags ===
+
+Nothing has been implemented yet. The following tags should be considered:
+`math`, `ssty`, `flac`, `dtls` and `rtlm`.
