A lot of work has been done to get Firefox to support Qt, in part due to Fennec's goal of supporting MeeGo (which is Qt-based). Firefox Qt builds exist already, but need more work to be ready for general use. | A lot of work has been done to get Firefox to support Qt, in part due to Fennec's goal of supporting MeeGo (which is Qt-based).

A pure Qt port of Firefox for Linux would be interesting from several standpoints: It might be faster than the current GTK builds, and also it would integrate better with KDE distros, which should make it popular. | A pure Qt port of Firefox for Linux would be interesting from several standpoints: It might be faster than the current GTK builds, and also it would integrate better with KDE distros, which should make it popular. | ||

Improving MathML Font Support | |||
| | |||
Our MathML support uses exclusively the [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=569195 STIX fonts] to stretch mathematical symbols. The purpose of this project is to prepare support for various other unicode fonts such that [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=407439 Asana Math], [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372351 Cambria Math] or [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=622576 Neo Euler]. | |||
The first step is to move nsMathMLChar from using nsIRenderingContext to gfxFontGroup. After that, the key feature to implement will be an interface to read [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=407059 OpenType MATH table]. | |||
