jsMath problem in SAGE on Ubuntu
I have just installed SAGE 3.2 on my Ubuntu 8.10 machine and received the following error message.
It looks like jsMath failed to set up properly (error code -7). I will try to keep going, but it could get ugly.
I discovered a forum thread that suggested that installing jsmath-fonts would fix the problem
apt-get install jsmath-fonts
but, unfortunately, it didn’t. I found that I also had to install ttf-jsmath
apt-get install ttf-jsmath
A quick restart of firefox later and SAGE looked very pretty indeed!
Thanks :)
The ttf-jsmath package doesn’t exist on earlier versions of Ubuntu. On 8.04, at least, you can install the 8.10 package, by downloading it and
sudo dpkg -i ttf-jsmath*.deb
