I sure would like my Wronskians to be curly! (ie. <mi mathvariant="script">W</mi> ) Alas, neither Firefox 3.0 nor Opera 10 support mathvariant="script" (nor bold-script, fraktur, bold-fraktur or double-struck). MathPlayer 2 does, however (congratulations! :>) But it gets interesting: all three support the Plane 1 sub-blocks for script, fraktur and double-struck, given appropriate fonts! (alas, still not bold-script, nor bold-fraktur). Just to make it perverse, though, neither MathPlayer nor Opera support most of the other plane 1 sub-blocks (bold, bold-italic, sans-serif ...). So, if we can't solely use mathvariant, nor plane-1..... should we use a hybrid? Ie. Plane-1 chars for script, fraktur & double-struck and mathvariant for the others? (and avoid bold-script, bold-fraktur) Or are there any pending developments that would improve the situation in some of the browsers? Thanks for your thoughts; bruce -- bruce.miller@nist.gov http://math.nist.gov/~BMiller/
