But CommonHTML doesn't try to= detect their presence, while HTML-CSS does, and it is that detection that = is probably going wrong for some reason (I did say it was fragile). HTML-CS= S needed to wait for the fonts to arrive because (in the old days before br= owsers were more consistent with each other), MathJax had to measure the ac= tual displayed subexpressions in order to determine their size, and that me= ant the font had to be the right one. CommonHTML doesn't have to do that be= cause modern browsers are more consistent about their layout (thanks to bet= ter standards and better adherence to them).
