> Are the STIX fonts in the tree and used for tests now? Recently there were some some MathML tests failing on GTK+ bots because of font differences between the bots. I'm hoping that switching to STIX fonts will solve this issue.

According to the Apple legal folks, we can't put the STIX fonts into the source tree because they use the SIL Font License.  They'd prefer that we don't expand the licenses under which content is distributed.

I've looked into trying to have the test system download and use fonts when the user runs the tests but I haven't really acted about that.  One problem is that some SIL Font License friendly organization needs to host the STIX fonts we use so the test system can download them.

The short term solution is to install them on the build bot.
