Math rendering is broken

On Hyperbolic_spiral#Equation, the second equation looks like y = r sir θ, instead of y = r sin θ, although the markup is correct. Any ideas why? cmɢʟee⎆τaʟκ 23:24, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Works for me.--Jasper Deng (talk) 23:43, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto me, but I have seen similar sorts of issues. It must have something to do with the resolution of the images generated, but I don't quite know what all goes into that exactly; what happens if you try making the text size way bigger? –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 23:45, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Jasper Deng and Deacon Vorbis: Same for me, with Chrome 74.0 on Windows 10 with a preference for math rendering set to "MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools)". That's why I use the "PNG images" setting for a looong time. --CiaPan (talk) 14:03, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Whoops, forgot to ping OP. :) CiaPan (talk) 14:04, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Works fine in Waterfox 56. I've never seen anything similar in any Firefox based browser, but I used to sometimes get slightly blurry equations. That was more than a year ago tho. 93.136.74.45 (talk) 02:34, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
