Important
The lazy font stylesheet is injected as a <link> into the host page's DOM. Unlike the previous browser-injected content-script.css, that path is subject to the page's CSP in Firefox, so KaTeX math is expected to fall back to serif on strict-CSP sites. Worth verifying on a strict-CSP page in both engines before merge.

ℹ️ The committed katex-fonts.css is compiled webpack output with dead fallbacks
The new stylesheet ships the .woff2 fonts as inline data: URIs (good — self-contained) but also lists url(<hash>.woff) / url(<hash>.ttf) fallbacks whose files are never emitted, so those entries can never resolve. It also bakes build-time hashes into a source file that will not regenerate when the KaTeX dependency changes.
Technical details
# Committed font stylesheet is build output
## Affected sites
- `src/components/MarkdownRender/katex-fonts.css` (new) — every `@font-face` uses an inlined `data:font/woff2;base64,…` plus `url(<hash>.woff)` and `url(<hash>.ttf)` fallbacks.
- `build.mjs:340-345` — `.woff`/`.ttf` are `asset/resource` with `generator.emit: false`, so those hashed assets are never written; the fallback URLs can never resolve (they were equally dead in the previous bundled CSS).
## Required outcome
- Either drop the `.woff`/`.ttf` sources so the file carries only self-contained `data:` URIs (woff2 is supported by every browser this extension targets), or generate this stylesheet from source during the build so the asset references stay in sync.
## Open questions for the human (optional)
- `mykatex.min.css` is already a committed minified artifact, so committing this file may be intentional. If so, a short note in the file header that it is generated (and from what) would help the next maintainer.DeepSeek Flash (free via Pullfrog for OSS) | 𝕏
Load font files only for rendered math, and register binary faces on web pages so strict CSP does not block them. Package fallback files for extension pages and avoid loading fonts for currency text.

Review follow-up is in 67e9a8e. I addressed the currency false positive, the strict-CSP font regression, the missing fallback assets, and the embedded-font line length. The stylesheet now references package font files rather than copied webpack hashes; all 60 font files are packaged in each output variant. I also added doc comments to the touched functions. The managed-challenge result was verified manually by the reporter with the original lazy-loading fix. That behavior cannot be deterministically reproduced by a local fixture, so I am not claiming an automated Cloudflare pass. The follow-up was checked with 1,089 passing tests, lint, a production build, Markdown currency/math rendering checks, and an isolated Chrome content-script test under strict CSP. Firefox manual testing remains pending because Firefox is not available on this host. Please review the updated commit; I will leave the PR open for approval. |

Fixed in 9c7145f.
The web-page path now inspects the computed family/style/weight of text in the rendered .katex-html subtree, requests only those packaged faces, and caches them individually. The hidden MathML copy is excluded. Changes to a formula's children are checked for newly needed faces, while already successful and in-flight loads are reused. Extension-owned pages retain native per-face CSS loading.
In an isolated Chrome extension under strict CSP, x+1 fetched only KaTeX_Main-Regular and KaTeX_Math-Italic (2 faces rather than 20). A more complex formula needed 5 distinct faces, with no duplicate fetches. New unit tests cover demand loading, changed formulas, face matching, and deduplication; all 1,097 tests, lint, and four production builds pass.
Inspect rendered glyph styles to request only the needed faces. Cache each face, register successes immediately, and retry a transient failure without waiting for the formula to change.

Reviewed changes
Incremental review of 9c7145f against the prior pullfrog review at 23d13ee. The new commit replaces the fixed font-list loader with glyph-driven, per-face loading and adds unit coverage; the build/manifest work is unchanged since the previous approval.
- Per-face on-demand loading — extracted the loader into
src/components/MarkdownRender/katex-fonts.mjs; it walks the rendered.katex-htmlsubtree, reads each text node's computedfont-family/font-style/font-weight, and loads only the matching faces. - Independent per-document caching — a
WeakMap<Document, Map<filename, Promise>>dedupes concurrent and repeat requests, evicts failed entries so a later render can retry, andloadFontretries a transient fetch once. - Narrower trigger surface —
KatexSpanpasses the rendered node to the loader and re-runs when the span's children change, so streamed formulas pick up newly appearing faces without reloading existing ones. - Test coverage — new
tests/unit/components/katex-fonts.test.mjs(8 tests) exercises the no-font paths, caching across renders, concurrent dedupe, transient-fetch retry, bounded decode retry, quoted/bold-italic/synthetic style matching, and the extension-page stylesheet path.
Verified locally: the 8 new tests pass, eslint and prettier --check are clean on the three changed files, and the 20 *.woff2 files in node_modules/katex/dist/fonts exactly match the fontFiles table.
ℹ️ The glyph-matching path is only emulated in unit tests
Face selection now depends on getComputedStyle, and the JSDOM tests supply those styles inline rather than by loading mykatex.min.css's class rules. A live check that $x^2$ still resolves to KaTeX_Main/KaTeX_Math (not a serif fallback) on a real strict-CSP page would close the loop; the PR description already notes Firefox smoke testing is outstanding.
Technical details
# Live coverage for computed-style-driven face selection
## Affected sites
- `src/components/MarkdownRender/katex-fonts.mjs:35-59` — `usedFonts` relies on `document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(text.parentElement)` for family/style/weight.
- `tests/unit/components/katex-fonts.test.mjs:7-9,146-160` — fixtures set `font-family`/`font-style`/`font-weight` as inline styles, so JSDOM never applies the `.katex .mathnormal` / `.katex .mathbf` class rules from `mykatex.min.css`.
## Required outcome
- Confirm on Chromium and Firefox, ideally on a strict-CSP page, that a rendered formula (including `\mathbf`, `\mathcal`, `\text{}`) selects the expected faces rather than falling back to serif.

I'm Codex, replying on behalf of @jiawku. Thank you, @PeterDaveHello, for your help and careful review. @jiawku is not very familiar with React or frontend development; the code changes and validation in this PR have been carried out through Codex, with @jiawku verifying the original browser behavior. Your point is correct: the font cache prevents duplicate requests, but it does not prevent the computed-style scan that happens before that cache is consulted. Addressed in ef3e75d:
Validation: all 1,101 tests, formatting, lint, and four production builds pass. In isolated Chrome under strict CSP, five equivalent formula subtree replacements caused zero additional computed-style reads; a real style change loaded the newly needed face. Firefox browser smoke testing is still outstanding because Firefox is unavailable on this host. Thanks again for guiding this toward a better implementation. |

Cloudflare managed challenges can enter a verification loop when KaTeX font faces are included in the stylesheet injected on every page. This change removes those font faces from the global stylesheet and loads them only after Markdown actually renders a KaTeX span. Ordinary currency text does not trigger a font load.
On web pages, the loader inspects the computed family, style, and weight of rendered KaTeX text and fetches only the needed packaged WOFF2 faces. It excludes the hidden MathML copy, caches each face independently, and registers successful faces immediately as binary
FontFaceobjects, which work under strict page CSP. A transient fetch or decode failure retries once without needing the formula to rerender; persistent failures remain available for a later retry. A formula-scoped DOM observer detects actual text, child, class, and style changes; a content fingerprint skips identical subtree replacements. React child identity no longer causes unchanged formulas to reread computed styles, and the observer disconnects on unmount.Only WOFF2 files are web-accessible. Extension-owned pages load the deferred font stylesheet with
font-display: swapand retain native per-face loading. Full builds include its WOFF2, WOFF, and TTF sources. Variants without KaTeX omit the font stylesheet, font files, and corresponding web-accessible resource declaration. No additional extension permission is required.Fixes #1087.
Validation:
npm test: 1,101 passed, including 12 new font-loader regression tests for demand loading, changed formulas, face matching, concurrent deduplication, independent registration, bounded retry, recovery, non-OK HTTP responses, actual DOM changes, identical subtree replacement, and observer cleanup.npm run prettyandnpm run lint -- --ignore-pattern 'release/**': passed;release/**is a local, untracked test package.npm run build: passed for all four variants. Full builds contain all 60 font files; both variants without KaTeX omit the font assets and resource declaration. All directory and ZIP manifests were checked, including the narrowed WOFF2 resource pattern.x+1fetched only 2 faces; a more complex expression needed 5 faces without duplicate fetches. A simulated one-face fetch failure recovered automatically while the formula remained unchanged. Five identical formula subtree replacements added zero computed-style reads, while changing a formula's style discovered the new face.Implemented with GPT-6 via Codex; browser verification of the original fix was performed by the reporter.
