I think this was due to some incorrect permissions on the font directories
in the math_v5.0.1 locker (which was installed and made the default fairly
recently). I fixed them and had Jonathon release the volume, so this should
work properly now if that was the cause- if you're still running something
you'll likely need to quit, detach the math and math_v5.0.1 volumes
and restart.
Let me know if there's still a problem- and thanks for reporting it!
Alex
