In bug 1630935 [1], I intend to deprecate support for drawing stretched MathML operators using the STIXGeneral fonts with a use counter, deprecation warning, and a pref to gate the feature (off by default on nightly).
These fonts were a stopgap solution to a problem that has since been addressed by OpenType MATH tables. Now that OpenType MATH fonts are available, they’ve been deprecated upstream, and we’ve encouraged the ecosystem to switch since 2014 [2]. That support is now a special case in our codebase, causing performance problems and making it difficult to refactor our MathML operator stretching code, but we can’t unship without usage data, because the fonts are still preinstalled on macOS.
