> The fonts I downloaded are 80Mb! You downloaded the wrong thing. There are two kinds of fonts used by jsMath: one is standard TTF fonts that the browser can use like any other font. These are called the "jsMath TeX fonts", and are what the warning message is complaining about. The link on the jsMath control panel to "Missing Fonts" takes you to a page that explains this and links to the download page for the missing fonts. That is the page William and others have pointed you to in other messages. These fonts are small and are installed on the machine that is running the browser that is viewing pages that contain jsMath.
The other type of font is called the "jsMath Image Fonts" and is the 80 MB download you talk about. These are not really fonts, they are collections of images of the characters in the fonts (an image for each character in each font in each size that jsMath uses, and so there are tens of thousands of them). These go on the SERVER, as part of the jsMath folder. Individual users don't usually install these on their machines, but since sage is running locally on your machine, it has a full installation of the jsMath server files, and so these image fonts must be there as well. These are what get used if the browser doesn't have access to the jsMath TeX fonts described above; that is, when you see the font warning message, it is these image fonts that jsMath falls back on. A normal user doesn't have to worry about the jsMath image fonts, only the jsMath TeX fonts, but since you are really running a jsMath server locally, sage users do have to have (and understand) both. > And where should they be installed? I can't work out where the > notebook server expects to find them. The jsMath TeX fonts are installed in the place that all other fonts go on your system (e.g., in the Fonts control panel under Windows, or ~/Library/Fonts on Mac OS X, or ~/.fonts on linux). The jsMath image fonts are unpacked into the jsMath source directory (somewhere inside the sage directories, I assume), and that is documented on the author's download page of the jsMath website. But you should not be having to deal with that, as I suspect the sage distribution already includes these image font files in the correct place.
