I have an outstanding issue I hope to defer in re the positioning done by jsMath, and if that is in play the keys are being rendered outside the buttons. Or it could be something to do with you likely not having jsMath fonts installed. That said, I just checked FF, Chrome, and Safari on Windows and Mac and Ubuntu, with and without installed jsMath fonts on the Mac, cannot recreate. kt -- http://www.stuckonalgebra.com "The best Algebra tutorial program I have seen... in a class by itself."

I dragged them out of Mac Fonts folder, restarted, reset Safari, still OK. I bet you are timing out waiting for the fallback image fonts. Just now they all came up blank and a good 750ms later got filled in. kt > >> That said, I just checked FF, Chrome, and Safari on Windows and Mac >> and Ubuntu, with and without installed jsMath fonts on the Mac, cannot >> recreate. > > I'll see if I can e-mail you a screenshot and I'll try those other > browsers. > -- http://www.stuckonalgebra.com "The best Algebra tutorial program I have seen... in a class by itself."

Your "ravings" notwithstanding. Well so much for giving people the benefit of the doubt. :) I'll prove you wrong when I have my next release ready and need an excuse to post again.
