I wonder if, at all, other fonts will ever be used for MathJax max display? The 'default MathJax font' is also just the 'default LaTeX font' (CM?). There are countless other, high-quality math fonts, for example the TeX Gyre Math fonts. I'd like to see those one day, I prefer them. It would be not more out of place than the current version. There are font pairs, too, like TeX Gyre Pagella and its TeX Gyre Pagella Math accompanying font. So you have the same font for both, which is simply beautiful and even more readable I'd argue. I think most people have accepted that text and math fonts are always distinct, when in fact they needn't be.

I’m a big fan of Linux Libertine, and I was pleasantly surprised to learn that there is a fork(Libertinus; https://github.com/alerque/libertinus https://github.com/alerque/libertinus), which includes a math family (Libertinus Math). They work brilliantly together as well, and in my opinion, a little better fit for the web then TeX Gyre—which is optimized for the printed page. You can see an example on the doc for my project Mathup: https://runarberg.github.io/mathup/ https://runarberg.github.io/mathup/ (you might need firefox or safari to see the font though, as you need the native MathML to render the equations)

MathJax 3 currently only supports the default font, as more general font support is still under development [1]. According to the relevant GitHub issue, font support is planned to be part of the next major release, which is supposed to arrive sometime this year [2]. This should then include Gyre Pagella out of the box (as was the case for MathJax 2), but also make it possible to use custom fonts (which apparently wasn’t possible with MathJax 2) [3].
