Does anyone have reftests of mathml functionality working on FF3? On 
what platforms?

I am on Mac OS X and, for quite a while, I have been reading what people 
say about what they see and I have no idea what I am supposed to be 
seeing. I look at the W3C MathML tests and I see vast differences 
between what is rendered and what is supposed to be there. But I also 
have questions about when I should have to install fonts and where and 
how they get installed. I want to put fonts in some place, and not run 
an application which does I know not what.

I have tried to figure out ways for people to share pictures of what 
they see. However, swapping screenshots is a pain. But reftest would 
work perfectly.

I think one problem may be that the reftest engine may have to be 
extended to have OS-specific images instead of having "skip-if", 
"random-if" and "fails-if" in the manifest files. Perhaps this is why 
the reftests of mathml functionality do not seem to be getting run as a 
part of any automatic process.

If anyone has questions about reftests, please see 
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Creating_reftest-based_unit_tests 
or ask questions. If anyone has reftests, please speak up. If anyone 
knows of a better way to share info about how these things are supposed 
to look, please share any and all ideas.
