Is MathML broken on Windows?
Not just on Windows. But everywhere.
The Mozilla Foundation made the decision to abandon the jungle of
platform-specific graphics layers (GDI on Windows, GTK/Xft/Xlib on
Linux/Unix, Carbon/Cocoa on the Mac, etc, etc) and to just (officially)
focus on a single top-level layer of APIs, namely Cairo graphics (or
code named GFX:Thebes in Mozilla).
But the grand unification theory comes with the price that all the
finicky MathML font-related stuff need to rewritten again.
As a result of this fundamental switch, no Firefox release is slatted
from the trunk soon. The next release to come from the trunk will be
Firefox 3, while Firefox 1.5x and 2.x are all coming from the more
stable Gecko 1.8 branch.

are drawing little arrows where the MathML should be. Firefox 1.5
