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.
