shared.css: Prepend Cambria to texhtml fonts
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Author: giecrilj

Description:
The rule

span.texhtml { font-family: serif; }

should become

span.texhtml { font-family: Cambria, serif; }

The reason is that Cambria is able to display the combination "Latin lowercase a with dot above" whereas Times New Roman is not because it does not contain the glyph for "combining dot above". This is a Microsoft problem, of course and as always.

Note that Cambria does not extend Times New Roman because it does not conain the Hebrew alphabet; therefore this rule cannot be universal. It is, however, very reasonable to apply it to formulae.

Note also that "Cambria Math" contains several mathematical symbols which Cambria does not contain; I do not recommend prescribing it though because it does not include an italic shape.
