Add anti-aliasing to MathJax
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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