In that interpretation, we'd need to have anyone who runs the webkit
tests for MathML install the STIX fonts ... somehow.  They'd have to
download and at least put them in a known location.  I'm not sure if
that is an acceptable solution for the whole WebKit project.

That's the way I was leaning.  The only issue is who has the resources
to provide a reliable server for the size of our development community?  I
don't personally have one that I can offer.
