Vim does things at least as bad. Here’s something I wrote in 2020 that shows how the default Vim configuration can overwrite files created outside of Vim and cause autobuild systems to fail: https://lee-phillips.org/badvim/

And why my .vimrc starts with this:

    set nobackup
    set nowritebackup 
    set noundofile
    set noswapfile

I was maybe too hasty here. Another comment made me realize that the difference is due to the presence of the Latin Modern font on my desktop and its absence from my phone. Sorry, mobile browsers. You still suck, but less energetically than I had concluded.

So authors using MathML should supply the LM font for download or advise their readers.

Ah, I (the article author) am at fault here, for not pointing this out. Things looked fine in my testing because I have the LM font installed on my system.
