[See also 65951]
MathML 2.0 has introduced a new attribute which amongst other things allows
referencing characters in plane-1 (remember the artefact of <font face="Symbol">
a </font> to get alpha). These characters are currently mapped to PUA
assignments in Mozilla, and users can access them via their entity references. 

Since plane-1 characters break nearly all current applications (including James
Clark's nsgmls which sits behind most validating XML parsers), |mathvariant|
provides a work-around that some people find useful. Here is a screenshot:
http://www.w3.org/Math/testsuite/Presentation/TokenElements/mi/mimathvariant13.html

Another peculiarity of |mathvariant| attribute is that it is a flag for style
invariant characters (bug 65951), so I guess this attribute needs to be
supported at some stage. I am filing this bug to jot down some thougths as I was
reading. Some values of |mathvariant| can be mapped directly to CSS in
mathml.css, others require back-end code. (maybe the CSS rules should inlcude
the |font| shorthand to reset everything first in order to meet the style
invariant requirement).

<mi mathvariant='normal'>a</mi>        -- can be mapped directly to CSS
<mi mathvariant='bold'>a</mi>          -- ditto
<mi mathvariant='italic'>a</mi>        -- ditto
<mi mathvariant='bold-italic'>a</mi>   -- ditto

<mi mathvariant='double-struck'>a</mi> -- CSS + code in GFX, specifically use 
[mathvariant='double-struck'] {
  font-family: -moz-double-struck /* then, detect this font-family in GFX and */
                                  /* simply convert the character indices     */
                                  /* to the expected PUA code points          */
}
<mi mathvariant='bold-fraktur'>a</mi> -- ditto here + |font-weight: bold|
<mi mathvariant='script'>a</mi>       -- similar tweaking here and below
<mi mathvariant='bold-script'>a</mi>  
<mi mathvariant='fraktur'>a</mi>

<mi mathvariant='sans-serif'>a</mi>       -- these can be mapped directly to CSS
<mi mathvariant='bold-sans-serif'>a</mi>
<mi mathvariant='sans-serif-italic'>a</mi>
<mi mathvariant='sans-serif-bold-italic'>a</mi>
<mi mathvariant='monospace'>a</mi>
<mi mathvariant='bold'>ab</mi>

I checked in a partial fix for (CSS rules) while I was doing the work to support 
MathML styling attributes.

	rbs Reporter
	Comment 2 • 22 years ago

Possible plan of action:

CSS
===
- add recognition of new -moz values for |font-variant|:
  font-variant: -moz-script | -moz-fraktur | -moz-double-struck
  (currently |font-variant| only supports |small-caps|).

- add CSS rules in mathml.css:

[mathvariant="double-struck"] {
  font-variant: -moz-double-struck;
}
          
[mathvariant="fraktur"],
[mathvariant="bold-fraktur"] {
  font-variant: -moz-fraktur;
}

[mathvariant="script"],
[mathvariant="bold-script"] {
  font-variant: -moz-script;
}

MathML
======
- merge mi/mtext/ms into a single token class: nsMathMLTokenFrame
- make mo inherits from the token class
- make the token class set a frame state bit in their child nsTextFrame (to flag
that since the parent is MathML-related, the child might need special processing
- see below).

nsTextFrame / nsTextTranformer
==============================
For platforms that support surrogate pairs, when font.variant has one of the new
values, transform the text to the corresponding surrogate representation and let
the font code deal with the rest.

For platforms that don't support surrogate pairs, transform the text to the
corresponding PUA values and let the font code deal with these.

ucvmath
=======
It might be necessary to setup converters that work with surrogate input. If
not, the transformation stage would have to output PUA values. In fact, a first
implementation could be entirely based on PUA values (i.e., the current
converters are retained). Then, the migration to surrogate (on platforms that
support it) could be another stage.

issues
======
Since the text might already been using the surrogate representation of these
plane-1 characters, it might be necessary to transform this text to the existing
PUA values so that the font code can deal with them. With a quick test to see if
the MathML frame state bit is set, a scan can be done to attempt to perform the
transformation. This way, the penalty of the scan won't affect non-MathML frames.

The "font" shorthand doesn't play nice with the propagation of the scriptlevel.
Using "font" required to use "font-size: inherit" as well, and it was initially
thought that this would have recovered the size that "font" would have reset,
but it actually means that the element inherits the size of the parent...
that's not what is needed in a fraction, superscript, etc, as can be seen in
this example:

 <msub>
   <mi>x</mi>
   <mi mathvariant="bold">a</mi>
 </msub>

So, the fix now is to stay clear of "font" and manually reset all the font-xxx
properties that have to be reset when mathvariant is specified.

"Processing applications that accept SMP characters are required to treat the corresponding BMP and attribute combinations identically."

I guess this means that copying the text should provide the Plane 1 characters, and that might require modifying the content rather than performing a transformation for the TextRuns.

Is there any progress on this?

Supporting mathvariant would be helpful for use with applications targeting MathML 3.0 such as the popular MathJax:

MathJax makes heavy use of mathvariant.

Only the most important characters in double-struck, script or fraktur should now render correctly and only with MathJax fonts installed.

	Frédéric Wang (:fredw)
	Comment 14 • 12 years ago

I got feedback on this bug again.

Relying on existing CSS properties and adding new properties as suggested in bug 162405 does not seem the right approach. mathvariant is supposed to map existing characters to their corresponding bold, fraktur, sans-serif etc counterpart, if they exist.

So maybe a better implementation is the following:

- use a single CSS property -moz-mathvariant with values default, normal, bold, italic, bold-italic, double-struck, bold-fraktur, script, bold-script, fraktur, sans-serif, bold-sans-serif, sans-serif-italic, sans-serif-bold-italic, monospace.
- map the mathvariant attribute to this property in nsMathMLElement
- do the char remapping in layout/generic, in the files that handle the text

I'm wondering if we could also do something in layout/generic to handle at the same time the cases of single <mi>x</mi> and token elements with leading/trailing spaces <mtext>  text   </mtext>, that would solve bugs like bug 518592, bug 770710, bug 527201 etc

Of course this approach won't address the issue mentioned in comment 7.

Have a look at nsTextRunTransformations, which does something similar.

I don't know exactly what would be involved here, but perhaps something similar could also make text frames return intrinsic widths (or perhaps frame bounds, even) that include glyph overflow to fix the problems with math content overflowing in matrices.

Interesting.

My idea was to use two other -moz-mathvariant properties "math-text" (for non-mi token) and "math-identifier" which would be set in mathml.css by

mtext, mo, ms, mn { -moz-mathvariant: math-text; }
mi { -moz-mathvariant: math-identifier; }

I'm not exactly sure about the priority between CSS rules applied in nsMathMLElement and mathml.css. So we may need to map the mathvariant attribute to -moz-mathvariant in mathml.css instead:

[mathvariant="fraktur"] { -moz-mathvariant: fraktur; }
etc

And I don't remember exactly about the priority of CSS rules but we must do that in a way that the mathvariant rules override the rules for token elements (perhaps adding more rules).

Now, in layout/generic we add MathML token elements specific stuff (leading/trailing space removal, computation of intrinsic widths) when -moz-mathvariant is not "default".

When -moz-mathvariant is "math-identifier" we render the text as italic when the mi content is made of a single variant char.

When -moz-mathvariant is not "default", "math-identifier" or "math-text" we perform the appropriate mathvariant transformation.

If we can detect that the text frame type is MathML in layout/generic, one of the value "default" or "math-text" can be removed.

	Frédéric Wang (:fredw)
	Comment 17 • 12 years ago

I forgot to say that we'll keep the [mathvariant] rule to reset the CSS font properties and won't use font rules for other mathvariant attributes. So in my opinion, mathvariant="bold" should only affect the characters for which a corresponding bold Unicode code point exists in contrast to "font-weight: bold" which puts all characters in bold.

BTW, I think that a -moz-mathvariant property to distinguish MathML tokens will enable to fix bug 560100 without adding new CSS properties. In general, I expect that it will simplify nsMathMLTokenFrame a lot.

	Frédéric Wang (:fredw)
	Comment 18 • 12 years ago

Mass change: setting priority to 2 for bugs that would be nice fix if Gecko's MathML support is enabled by default in MathJax but that are not in my opinion strictly required or for which a workaround could be written in the MathJax code.

	Frédéric Wang (:fredw)
	Comment 20 • 11 years ago

@James Kitchener: that would definitely great if you could work on this bug. Here are my latest thoughts on this:

1) The TEXT_FORCE_TRIM_WHITESPACE flags are not correctly set by nsMathMLTokenFrame::ForceTrimChildTextFrames. See Patch V5 from bug 415413 for how it could be fixed and changed to a more general TEXT_IS_IN_TOKEN_MATHML flag. I guess the function could also be modified to set another flag TEXT_IS_IN_SINGLE_CHAR_MI when you are in an <mi> element with only a single char.

2) A -moz-mathvariant CSS property should be implemented. The mathvariant attribute will be mapped to that property in content/mathml/ as usual. It should be allowed on token elements and math/mstyle.

3) As Karl suggested, nsTextRunTransformations should be modified to do the mapping when TEXT_IS_IN_TOKEN_MATHML is set. Basic rules are:

   - if there is an explicit -moz-mathvariant value, use it.
   - otherwise single mi maps to "italic" ; multiple mi and other token elements to "normal". Use the TEXT_IS_IN_SINGLE_CHAR_MI as a help.
   - the mapping should only be done for characters where a transformation exists: latin/greek alphabet and digits (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_alphanumeric_symbols)
   
4) You'll have to clean up the old CSS rules in mathml.css, the invariant char and mi code etc

You can have a look at my experimental patches that I wrote some time ago. These are probably not quite correct but will give you an idea of the places to modify:

https://github.com/fred-wang/MozillaCentralPatches/blob/master/mathml-token-1.diff
https://github.com/fred-wang/MozillaCentralPatches/blob/master/mathml-token-2.diff
https://github.com/fred-wang/MozillaCentralPatches/blob/master/mathml-token-3.diff
https://github.com/fred-wang/MozillaCentralPatches/blob/master/mathml-token-4.diff
https://github.com/fred-wang/MozillaCentralPatches/blob/master/mathml-token-5.diff

Note that this is what the spec says, but there is also the question of whether we should keep using font-weight and font-style to emulate bold, italic and bolditalic. Indeed some people may not have fonts with characters from the math alpha num block and will see "missing char" symbols...

	James Kitchener (:jkitch) Assignee
	Comment 21 • 11 years ago

Other than some slight rearranging, there has been little change since the experimental patches.

One thing I am stuck on is having -moz-mathvariant override fontstyle and fontweight.  layout/style/nsRuleNode.cpp appears to be a possible place to make the change, but I am unable to access both text (mathvariant) and font (fontstyle/fontweight) properties at the same time.

Latin, Greek and number transforms are implemented.  Arabic? ones are not.

I've tested this code and it works properly, but I'm not sure if the algorithm is ideal.  There are a large number of exceptions which results in a long switch statement.

I'm not certain that the TEXT_IS_IN_SINGLE_CHAR_MI flag has an appropriate bit, but the reserve areas are already full and I couldn't find a user of 59.

I think Arabic variants still don't have any unicode positions reserved... so let's ignore the arabic mathvariant for now.

Yes, unfortunately there are exceptions in these Unicode positions. The only thing I can think right now would be to rely on hash tables to remap these characters. But not sure if it's worth doing so, given that there are not so many exceptions.

I think 59 is ok, per bug 785720 comment 18.

I think this is one of my old attempts for bug 415413. Could you please open a new bug that will block both bug 114365 and bug 415413? And extract from this patch the TEXT_FORCE_TRIM_WHITESPACE => TEXT_IS_IN_TOKEN_MATHML renaming + the changes to nsMathMLTokenFrame::ForceTrimChildTextFrames (renamed MarkTextFramesAsTokenMathML). These changes should be pretty trivial and thus easily accepted.

Some ideas:

- default value of mathvariant for single-char mi and multi-char mi (tested by mi-mathvariant-1.xhtml)
- single-char mi for unicode characters that are already italic (tested by mi-mathvariant-2.xhtml)
- single-char mi for unicode characters for which there is no italic variant in Unicode (should not have any effect)
- mathvariant on single-char mi (the mathvariant property should override the default italicness)
- normal mathvariant mapping on mtext (mathvariant-1.html)
- mathvariant exceptions on mtext  (mathvariant-2.html)
- mathvariant vs fontweight/fontstyle (mathvariant-3.html)
- mathvariant on characters that are already in the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols or are exceptions (should not have any effect).
- mathvariant on characters for which there is no equivalent mathvariant form in Unicode (should not have any effect)
- mathvariant on multi-char token elements (should apply to all the characters)
- mathvariant on mstyle (should apply to all token element descendants like single-char mi, mtext etc)

Also, it might be possible that fixing this bug is all what we need to address the _moz- attribute issue in the html5lib test suite. So you may want to try Henri's patch from bug 527201.

I think it's not a too serious issue if you are not able to fix that. fontstyle/fontweight are deprecated and hopefully are not really used in combination with mathvariant. Also, people can set font-style and font-weight via CSS and in theory mathvariant should protect from style change too ; but this should not happen too often either. As comparison, MathJax or WebKit do not handle these cases very well.

> What else should I be testing for?

Also, you could test dynamic changes:
- adding/removing/modifying mathvariant on an mstyle/token element
- modifying the text content of an mi element (i.e. changing single-char <=> multi-char). In particular, I'm wondering if TEXT_IS_IN_SINGLE_CHAR_MI is set/reset correctly in that case.

	Frédéric Wang (:fredw)
	Comment 34 • 11 years ago

So strictly speaking, in MarkTextFramesAsTokenMathML you should only set TEXT_IS_IN_SINGLE_CHAR_MI when the nsBlockFrame child has only *one* nsTextFrame child and when this child has only one single char (modulo the whitespace trimming)

I've tried a modified version of the testcase.

_moz-math-columnalighn and _moz-math-rowalign are still present but there are no _moz- attributes for various combinations of fontweight, fontstyle and mathvariant.

Yes, these attributes will be removed when bug 731667 is fixed. I just meant that the html5lib test suite is likely to not contain any columnalign/rowalign attributes so perhaps it's not necessary to wait for bug 731667 to remove the workaround in parser_datreader.js (cf Henri's patch) and that your patch will be enough. BTW, your patch may also allow to pass test 32 of http://fred-wang.github.io/AcidTestsMathML/acid3/

Ah thanks, I was reading the MathML3 draft and didn't see any mention

So the Math WG has updated the draft and added a reference to the Unicode document:

IIUC, 

"Double-struck symbols 1EEA1 ب ARABIC MATHEMATICAL DOUBLE-STRUCK BEH
≈ <font> 0628   arabic letter beh"

means that <mtext mathvariant="double-struck">&#x0628;</mtext> will map to &#x1EEA1;

but I'm not really sure about those that have an additional arrow:

"Isolated symbols

would mean that <mtext mathvariant="isolated">&#x0627;</mtext> maps to &#x1EE00; or &#xFE8D?

Feedback up to comment 36 has been addressed.  Revised patches will be uploaded when I am back.

Support for Arabic mathvariant is blocked on actually supporting the new 1EExx characters.  (I have filed bug 923890 for this).  I have a plan for implementing it, but at present all it would accomplish is unreadable equations.

It looks like I can selectively apply font-style and font-weight  within nsMathVariantTextRunFactory::RebuildTextRun, without resorting to CSS.  It should work on a character by character basis, excluding inappropriate characters (e.g. non-alphanumeric symbols).  I'm planning on using it for bold, italic and bold-italic mathvariants.

According to http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/2007doc/double-struck.html, dāl (0xO62F) maps to "ARABIC MATHEMATICAL DOUBLE STRUCK DAL" (U+1EEA3)

But there appears to be a similar character (ḏāl (0x0630)).  

Is the second one (0x0630) left unchanged or would both be transformed to the same character?

0x0630 is there near the end of the table (the fourth from below).

Karl, any idea about these bold, italic and bold-italic mathvariants? Should we follow the spec and use the characters from the math alpha num char? Or keep using CSS style to guarantee correct display even when people don't have the appropriate fonts?

If we are considering OpenType math fonts (with MATH table) in the future, then following the spec is really the only option to get proper rendering.

	James Kitchener (:jkitch) Assignee
	Comment 48 • 11 years ago

So the "single char MI without mathvariant" case should be rendered using fontstyle, everything else uses the the normal character mapping?

I'm not following the connection here.
I didn't expect the MATH table to map bold, italic and bold-italic mathvariants.

I thought mathvariant was a MathML quirk to support SMP characters using only the BMP plane, and to support these characters before math fonts were widely available.

MacOS 10.7 ships STIX, and Vista, and I assume later NT systems, have Cambria Math, so that leaves XP systems that don't have MS Office 2007 or PowerPoint Viewer, most of which systems will be unsupported after April.  So, we could transform all these variants/characters to their mathematical alphanumeric symbols.

But is there an advantage in doing that over using style and weight from within the

	Karl Tomlinson (:karlt)
	Comment 50 • 11 years ago

... text run transformations?

	Karl Tomlinson (:karlt)
	Comment 51 • 11 years ago

Even if the advantage is just that it is simpler, that might be good enough reason.
I don't feel strongly, but staying with style/weight feels safe.

If code is added to support the italic case, then I assume it wouldn't be too difficult to also support bold?

	James Kitchener (:jkitch) Assignee
	Comment 52 • 11 years ago

The italics case actually consists of two subcases.
1. Only single char <mi> italics are supported 
2. All mathvariant=italic usage is supported

The difference between the two depends on whether the text-run can consist of both transformable and non-transformable characters.

Assuming case 1, adding bold support will take some effort (the same amount of effort as supporting case 2 actually), but I know what needs to be done. 
For case 2, supporting bold is trivial.

	Frédéric Wang (:fredw)
	Comment 53 • 11 years ago

Two precisions:

- In any case, I think the "single char MI without mathvariant" must be treated the same as mathvariant="italic" (otherwise the corresponding reftest will fail anyway). And that italic/bold-italic/bold must use consistent methods.

- When I said "keeping CSS style", I just meant applying style/weight somewhere in the code path rather than performing a unicode change. If James is able to do that directly from within the text run transformation code, then perhaps it is better (to group the mathvariant implementation in the same place and ensure that mathvariant inhibits other CSS style/weight rules).

Personally, I'd prefer to follow the specification and do something clear and consistent ; using different methods for mathvariant has always been the source of confusion.

I think it is safe to think that the Desktop systems will have the appropriate fonts installed. However, my concern is for the mobile platforms like Android or FirefoxOS, given that there have not been any progress on https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=36011 or bug 775060...

	Karl Tomlinson (:karlt)
	Comment 54 • 11 years ago

Yes, thanks, mobile platforms are a good reason to use style/weight, and the idea of doing it from the transformation code sounds good to me.

(In reply to James Kitchener (:jkitch) from comment #52)

I would not expect a mix of transformable and non-transformable characters to be common, and transforming only some of the characters within one token seems odd to me.

I'd be quite happy with an easy way out for this case, probably not transforming at all unless all characters should be transformed in the same way.

My understanding of using CSS styles here is that italic, bold etc. will use font styles just like regular text italic and bold. If true, this wouldn’t work with an OpenType math implementation since there is usually only a single math font with italic and bold etc. expected to be taken from the Math block, and glyphs there will have the proper italic correction, accent placement info, sub/superscript placement info and optical size variants, which all are required for proper rendering (not to mention that math italic can have different design from text italics).

	Frédéric Wang (:fredw)
	Comment 56 • 11 years ago

Yes, I guess we are confronted to what to choose between the ideal situation with a single Open Type MATH and the intermediary hack using mixed fonts / styles. In the future, I think we want to avoid mixing fonts for stretchy characters. It seems that we should push to fix bugs regarding math font availability / autoinstallation or to better document how to use Web fonts.

On a side note, a similar issue is that the mathml.css stylesheet contains default font-family for STIX or MathJax. If the text of the Web page is different, this may lead to inconsistency between text / math fonts ; especially the font-size difference may be significant. MathJax has hacks to try to recompute the font-size of the math elements and make it match the surrounding text, but ideally I'd like to have a clean solution here too and remove the font-family from the stylesheet in the future.

Of course for all these problems, having a better support for math font would help.

Thank you.  I had forgotten that math fonts may not have italic and bold members on the font family.  The font system will slant and embolden glyphs when requested, but it will not be as good as using the intended glyphs.

If sites know that math fonts are being used, perhaps because the site is providing the font, they can specify the appropriate Unicode code points for the mathematical alphanumeric symbols, but it is unfortunate that these are rendered differently.

I guess we could eventually check whether the primary font supports mathematical alphanumeric symbols before choosing between a unicode or style transformation, but I don't want to hold back the work here waiting for such a solution.

Moving the mathvariant style selection to the textrun transformation seems a step in the right direction, which can be improved later.

	James Kitchener (:jkitch) Assignee
	Comment 60 • 11 years ago

Minor changes since the last patch.  Mathvariant is now a font property, rather than a text property and now overrides fontweight and fontstyle.

	James Kitchener (:jkitch) Assignee
	Comment 61 • 11 years ago

Changes since the last patch:
1. Arabic now supported
2. bold/italic now performed through fontweight/fontstyle rather than character transformations.  The code also enforces the mathvariant overriding fontweight/fontstyle behaviour.
3. A hashtable is used for Arabic and Latin lookups.

Any comments before I send this off to review?

So doTransform is only for bold/italic/bold-italic, right? If so it would need a better name.

There are other space chars that could happen for example "U+00A0 no-break space" is frequent in MathJax. Perhaps it's safer and more simple to keep the current behavior and always perform the CSS style... We will fix that later when we implement mathvarian bold/italic/bold-italic correctly.

The existing implementation ensures that only valid characters are transformed.  If it was changed to transform everything, it will break layout/reftests/mathml/mi-mathvariant-2.xhtml and regress bug 413115.

The robust solution is to divide the textRun into transformable and non-transformable subStrings and process them piecewise.  nsFontVariantTextRunFactory::RebuildTextRun() does this so I have an example implementation from which to work.

OK, I see. So let's keep it that way until bug 930504 is fixed. But please add at least the non-breaking space   since it is mentioned on http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML/chapter2.html#fund.collapse

CSS related additions to support mathvariant.

-moz-math-variant is an implementation detail which is explicitly inaccessible.  People wishing to determine mathvariant status can query the mathvariant attribute within a MathML element.

	Comment 77 • 11 years ago

Feedback from comment 67 has been addressed and detailed comments describing the algorithm have been added.

All or nothing transformation has been implemented for bold, italic and bold-italic with an exception for whitespace (at least for the moment.  They will eventually adopt the standard behaviour in bug 930504).

The remaining mathvariant options transform valid characters and pass untransformable characters unchanged (in this instance it is the easy option). Should the all or nothing behaviour be adopted here as well?  I've looked at the standard, and it doesn't mention this situation.

I think only the characters that can be transformed should be transformed and the others should remain unchanged. IIUC, that it is what your patch does (except for italic/bold-italic/bold for now).

It seems simpler and more efficient just to binary-search the table in-place (and make it pre-sorted) instead of building the hash table. Squeezing out every last drop of performance here just isn't worth it.

I think we want to treat this new property like the MathML properties in that if MathML is disabled, we want to be able to pretend that a whole nsStyleFont's worth of properties was specified even if -moz-math-variant wasn't.  So please add a check for this new property in AreAllMathMLPropertiesUndefined in nsRuleNode.cpp.

Please place this within the !defined(CSS_PROP_LIST_ONLY_COMPONENTS_OF_ALL_SHORTHAND) block just above so that an "all: reset" property doesn't reset -moz-math-variant.

Concretely, for most token frames the mapping @mathvariant to -moz-mathvariant is straightforward:

<mtext>x</mtext>  => normal
<mtext mathvariant="fraktur">x</mtext> => fraktur

except for <mi> whose default value is a bit special:

<mi>x</mi>  => italic
<mi> x </mi>  => italic
<mi>sin</mi>  => normal

that is the default is "italic" for single-char <mi> (with whitespaces trimmed) and "normal" for multi-char <mi>. The logic is slightly more involved so I'm not sure we can do that in mathml.css or in nsMathMLElement::MapMathMLAttributesInto. Hence I've suggested to James to set a frame bit in nsMathMLTokenFrame::MarkTextFramesAsTokenMathML (see attachment 822303 [details] [diff] [review]) where we already set the TEXT_IS_IN_TOKEN_MATHML bit.

Sorry, should have mentioned this before: do you mind moving mMathVariant just beneath mScriptLevel to reduce the size of an nsStyleFont (because of alignment of its members)?

This now includes a fix for mpadded-7, mpadded-8 and mpadded-9.  

Characters such as '|' and '_' are no longer transformed by mathvariant, breaking the test.  It now uses style="font-family: monospace" which should be equivalent to the older mathvariant implementation.  

I've also added tests for mathvariant="monospace" (using 'i' and 'X', unless you can think of better representative characters).

Results from James:

So the new assertions seems to be due to the verification added in AreAllMathMLPropertiesUndefined. I believe the SetDiscrete on mathvariant will set it not the MATHVARIANT_NONE even when MathML is not used. As a workaround, I also allowed aRuleData->ValueForMathVariant()->GetUnit() == eCSSUnit_Initial but perhaps there is a best way to fix that.

Oh, you also need to skip that property in nsInitialStyleRule::MapRuleInfoInto (in nsStyleSet.cpp) if MathML is disabled.

One test failure specific to Android 2.2

I suspect there is some difference in the bounding box or font metric calculations between style="font-style:italic" and the italic fontstyle set by the TextRunTransformation.

Is this something worth chasing up?  

The test will eventually need changing to avoid using explicit font-style when bug 930504 lands, as style="font-style:italic" and mathvariant="italic" will likely give different results.

I think it's worth spending a little bit of time examining the possibilities. But not too much.

This isn't the first time such behaviour has appeared in nsMathMLmmultiscriptsFrame related tests.  Bug 827713 had one which would only appear with OSX10.6 (10.7+ were fine).

I wonder whether the italic and normal fonts have different ascent/descent metrics on Android.

If the font-style is set only in the TextRunTransformation, then that won't change the logical font metrics of the element, which are based on the element font-style, which is normal.

That is OK, I think, but it would be nice to make the test continue to work.

I wouldn't expect style="font-style:italic to help, but mathvariant="italic" in 414123-ref.xhtml should make it pass.

Now fixes layout/reftests/mathml/414123 by comparing it with an explicit mathvariant, rather than faking it with font-style.

Documentation changes:

mathvariant is now fully implemented.

It works by replacing the characters within the tag by new ones that correspond to the original character and the mathvariant selected which is located within the mathematical blocks of unicode.  

Each transformable character only supports a subset of the possible mathvariants. Characters without a valid representation are displayed unaltered.  

The lists of transformable characters and the mathvariant values they accept can be found at 
http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/chapter6.html#chars.letter-like-tables
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-math/2013Sep/0012.html

A warning might be needed to say that users without fonts supporting the mathematical blocks (0x1D*** and 0x1EE**) will see missing character symbols instead.

Note there is a special case for bold, italic and bold-italic.  These are still implemented using font-style/fontweight to allow them to remain readable even with fonts lacking the mathematical blocks.  The treatment of non-transformable characters is also handled differently.  If a non-transformable character is found within the tag (other than certain whitespace characters), the transformation will not occur for any of the characters.  This behaviour will eventually be standardised to follow the majority behaviour in bug 930504.

FYI, I just checked that, and indeed we obtained one point more the MathML Acid 3 test!

The attributes {mathvariant, fontweight, fontstyle} are already tested by my MathML-generation module.  I was missing a few values for mathvariant, so I added those (fuzzing rev cbe72a97462a).

I believe all the non-Arabic characters are already covered by the STIX fonts. Khaled Hosny is working on creating glyphs for his Amiri and XITS fonts (https://github.com/khaledhosny/xits-math/issues/36#issuecomment-29606565), so hopefully they will be available when Gecko 28 is released. We'll have to make these Arabic fonts available on MDN, in the font installers etc (bug 923890).

So after some delay, I finally updated the MDN doc.

The relnote was https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/28.0/releasenotes/

These had already been updated:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/28#MathML
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/MathML_Project/Status

Additionally, I updated the info on the token elements pages:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/MathML/Element/mtext
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/MathML/Element/ms
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/MathML/Element/mo
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/MathML/Element/mn
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/MathML/Element/mi

and two mathvariant tests on

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/MathML_Project/MathML3Testsuite/Topics/TablesTokens

I think this was the minimum needed, but feel free to update more pages if necessary.
