Math tags shows Cyrillic text and other characters in thin, angular font. At the same time, many Latin characters, and even Chinese and Arabic, appear in a thick, smooth, pretty font.

In Wikipedia with Cyrillic, we use a lot of text in formulas and formulas are shown from two different fonts, not as pretty as in other languages.

It is necessary that more text is displayed in a pretty font.

As can be seen from the svg, the part in the path tag and part as text tag
- why server can't draw everything in path and give everyone the same picture
- text tag with font-family="monospace" so characters are displayed depending on browser and os. Firefox on win 10 gives Courier New for monospace when latin letters are drawn by path and serif. These two fonts look very different. Mobile opera mini for the Cyrillic shows tofu symbols, although it shows the Cyrillic text itself; and Latin characters in the path are of course visible
- why \text{} shown partially by text and partially by tag. It gives a mixture of monospace and serif inside one word and differences in the height of the letters <math>\text{Žemaitėška}</math>
- also an option add css class for text in the svg so that wikipedians can locally configure the class via css
