Hrrm, I haven't had any problems here with <m>, not sure why <algebra>
wouldn't work considering it's using the same code (tth) to do the
rendering.

I'll revive my windows test machine later and see if I have offended
it in some way with my latest changes.

This is expected.

IE 6 doesn't support Unicode fonts points well. But does support <font
face="symbol"> so we tell tth to output symbol font stuff.

Mozilla/Firefox doesn't support <font face="symbol"> stuff at all but
rather requires unicode references.
