some unicode points not rendering in Chrome for Windows

Example at http://jsfiddle.net/H2QzQ/1/, supposedly the ⅈ is not rendering (see screenshot in the original posting).

Note: I don't have a windows+chrome to test just now.

See https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112366 as well as issues #239 and #202 for various similar issues we had in the past.

This character is not in the MathJax web fonts, and so MathJax has to use its list of fallback system fonts. If those aren't installed on the user's system, the character may not be displayed. I haven't done a check of default fonts on Windows recently, and what their unicode coverage is like, so the current value of unknownFamily probably is not the right collection. Perhaps we should augment that list with some fonts that might be more likely to be present (e.g., Cambria Math). Fonts like Asana could also be included in the list.

PS, issues #239 and #202 is a different issue. The current issue is about the fact that the MathJax fonts don't include the needed characters (but they would be displayed properly if they did). Those other issues are about Chrome not being able to display the characters that actually are in the font. We can do something about the former, but not the latter.

ah, my bad! Thanks for correcting me.
