Symbol Font

Symbol Encoding

Font-family: Symbol
Character Map:

Screenshot, and Encoding result generated by encode.pl

Copyright: Various.
Availability: Installed by default on most platforms.
Issues:
  • There is no mapping table in the ucvmath module for the Symbol font. The one used comes from the ucvlatin module. Note that in order to display all HTML4 characters, the (internal) table in Mozilla is extended, e.g., bracketlefttp is also used for leftfloor, bracketrighttp is also used for rightfloor.
  • The default Symbol font on most Unixes is a bitmap font with erroneous metrics. This causes the rendering of certain stretchy characters (like the right parenthesis) to be jagged. By default, the MathML engines uses the Symbol font only as a last resort font for stretchy characters, i.e., when the user hasn't yet properly installed the other supported fonts. Linux users are encouraged to install a scalable Type1 version.
