In summary, there is a known issue with LaTeX rendering on Safari 13.1 due to changes in how the browser handles fonts and graphics. The most common solution is to update to the latest version of Safari, clear browser cache and cookies, or use a different browser. It is still possible to use Safari 13.1 for LaTeX documents, but there may be issues with rendering equations. Other solutions include disabling the "Use images for math" option in MathJax settings or using a different LaTeX rendering engine. It is recommended to stay updated with the latest versions of browsers and software to avoid compatibility issues in the future.

Some equations no longer render correctly on Safari 13.1:

It appears correctly on Firefox on the same computer.

Edit: Sometimes I can see the equations appearing correctly for an instant, before the top part disappears.

When this problem occurs, I noticed when I narrow the window, the missing top part of the math reappears.

Related to Fix LaTeX Rendering Issue on Safari 13.1

1. What is the issue with LaTeX rendering on Safari 13.1?

The issue with LaTeX rendering on Safari 13.1 is that the browser has removed support for the MathML element, which is commonly used to display mathematical equations in web pages.

2. How does this issue affect users?

This issue affects users who use Safari 13.1 as their web browser and frequently access websites with mathematical equations, such as academic journals or educational resources. Without proper rendering, the equations may appear distorted or not display at all.

3. Is there a solution for this issue?

Yes, there are several solutions for this issue. One option is to switch to a different web browser that still supports MathML rendering, such as Firefox or Chrome. Another solution is to install a browser extension or plugin that adds support for MathML to Safari 13.1. Additionally, some websites may have implemented alternative methods for displaying mathematical equations that are compatible with Safari 13.1.

4. Can this issue be fixed by the user?

Unfortunately, this issue cannot be fixed by the user alone. As it is a browser-specific issue, it requires changes to be made by the Safari development team. Users can try the solutions mentioned above, but ultimately it is up to the developers to address this issue.

5. Is there any update on when this issue will be resolved?

At the moment, there is no official update on when this issue will be resolved by the Safari development team. However, it is recommended to keep the browser up to date and check for any updates or fixes in future releases.
