Are you sure the above kind of use of the fonts is legal use of Mathematica fonts? (Further, I'm afraid the above needs might be so small.) In the above example, I guess Mathematica7.0 fonts (not 4.1) will be okay but then the package should be ttf-mathematica and install the (latest?) available Mathematica fonts. (For MathML with old iceweasel/firefox, only Mathematica4.1 fonts are acceptable, as far as I understand.) In any case, the most biggest problem for the pakage is if WRI keeps the fonts on their website with an appropriate license. I've contacted WRI but didn't get any good answer. I suspect this is mainly due to my English. (Can anyone help me?) I know that there are some websites where they keep Mathematica4.1 fonts, for example, (could be obsolete however) http://downloads.sf.net/math-linux/ http://ftp.freebsd.or.id/distfiles/mathfonts-4.1/ and for Windows, there is an installer of them in MIT http://web.mit.edu/ist/topics/webpublishing/mathml/index.html I want to know why these are legally acceptable.
