One of the problems that I have been encountering persistently, and that I've now gotten fed up with, is the following:

I am using Chrome, HTML/CSS and local STIX fonts, and sometimes (e.g. in this Maths.StackExchange answer: http://math.stackexchange.com/a/450968) I am confronted with the fact that the \not operator does not render properly on all relation symbols (in ref'd case, the \succeq command), moreover, it does not render at all.

Switching to SVG solves the problem but is evidently an inferior solution. Your time is duly appreciated.

The \not\succeq appears properly for me in Chrome 28 on Mac OS X 10.7.4. What version of Chrome are you using, and what OS? Can you provide a screen shot of what you are seeing?

Also,when you say SVG is an inferior solution, can you say what you are unhappy about with it?

OS and browser are Win 7 Ultimate and Chrome 28 (latest), respectively.

The following is the rendering I see of every $x,y$ with $x \not\succeq y$,:

A quick check confirms that the problems do not occur with either Firefox or Opera (both latest). When I say that SVG is inferior, I mean the following:

As you can see, the text is horribly bold as well as too large, and the rendered elements do not align with the surrounding text. (Admittedly I always view Maths.SE in a slightly zoomed out fashion (90%), but even at 100% the text is too large and too bold, although alignment is better; I have verified that the original problem persists at other zoom levels.)

A final problem that I have with SVG is that it does not support link colouring: maths in links stays black.

I can confirm that \not\succeq doesn't render correctly (not is ignored) using webfonts on Chrome 28 & 29, ubuntu 13.04, using http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/test/sample-dynamic-2.html. Firefox 23 works well.
