[LON-CAPA-users] Increasing the math font in the XML style sheet

[Gerd Kortemeyer]

Hi,

You might want to try the other math display modes, for example MimeTeX or jsMath. You can set those in your course preferences.

Main Menu -> Modify Course Configuration -> Display of Resources -> Force use of a specific math rendering engine

Needs course reinitialization to kick in.

- Gerd.
