1. Clarification: Among all the font collections previously recommended
at projects/mathml/fonts you are recommending uninstalling only those
in the "deceitful font" category, as described in Bugzilla/400938.
That is, the other (categories 2 and 3) non-unicode fonts will be OK.
Is this correct?
2. I trust that font casting via "mathvariant" will remain supported.
( For example, '<mi mathvariant="fraktur">A</mi>' )
Don't forget legacy MathML, v.2, content.
Thanks.
