I've been trying to figure out how to make the math symbols on this page to work, but with no luck.

This is what I see:

I have tried changing the font in Chrome options but was unsuccessful.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

  • I see approximately the same with Firefox. Can you be more precise about which characters aren't rendered properly? – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Jan 23 '18 at 01:25
  • The å character should be a capital Sigma, the £ should be a "less than or equal" (or just "less than", maybe)... I haven't tried it on Firefox, maybe it's a problem with the webpage then. If it helps, I'm using Ubuntu 17.10 – SantiMontouliu Jan 23 '18 at 02:15

Normally preinstalled Ubuntu does not contain some proprietary fonts.
The page uses Symbol font.

I installed it with the following actions:

  1. Installed GNOME Font Viewer with sudo apt-get install gnome-font-viewer (or if you use MATE DE you can install MATE Font Viewer sudo apt-get install mate-control-center)
  2. Downloaded Symbol font from the link with browser.
  3. Opened downloaded font by clicking on it and clicked Install font button
  4. Closed web browser and opened it again on page.
  5. Got all equations rendered correctly.

Note: you can use other question "How do I install fonts?" for screenshots.
