Mathematical constants and computations, by Xavier Gourdon and Pascal Sebah

Dunno about you lot, but there used to be a truetype dir in /usr/share/fonts. I don't know what happened to it, if it doesn't still exist (it does on my Ubuntu but not on my Fedora). If that exists anywhere, shove the symbol.ttf into that, rerun whatever the right command is to resync the font dir, and hey presto, symbol. In my case, I happened to have the correct fonts in /usr/share/wine/fonts already, so I simply copied those (as root, of course) into /usr/share/fonts/truetype (after creating the directory), and fired up the browser. I went to the link in the original post, clicked on "Constants" and ... yep. They all seem to render. The root symbol looks a little weird, but I can live with that. You may even be able to get the correct fonts from the ttf-mscorefonts-installer (Ubuntu/Debian) package.
