    From looking at http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathplayer/ it sounds like this program is mainly just for Windows to display MathML in IE? In that case, it sounds to me like you're on the right track by adding MathML fonts to Firefox, since Firefox itself has native MathML support.

    As I understand it, you should be fine with Firefox (personally I didn't even need to actually install any specific MathML fonts, but who knows).
