No, disabling Pango currently *enables* mathml rendering in the FC 
distribution of Fx.  AIUI, there are incompatibilities between Pango/Cairo 
as distributed in FC4 and Pango/Xft as expected by Fx.  Mathml in Fx 
in FC4 with Pango enabled is badly broken.  Mathml in FC4 Fx without Pango 
isn't all that great, but it is passable.  Check out 
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/demo/texvsmml.xhtml.

Sorry for the mistake you're right.
But i go the this page
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/demo/texvsmml.xhtml firefox
complain about lack of Math1, Math2 and Math4 fonts. I don't understand
because it seems to be right before update to firefox 1.0.7 but i'm not
sure of that.

So i downloaded mathematica 4.1 fonts and copied their
in /usr/share/fonts and all seems ok.

Harmless warning.  Unfortunately, Fedora Extras cannot (re)distribute 
Mathematica's fonts in the mathml-fonts package, due to licensing 
restrictions.  With mathml-fonts installed, Firefox (and Mozilla) should 
display mathml fine without them (and use the IMO better TeX fonts).

This also works for the same problem I experianced in Thunderbird
1.0.7-1.1.fc4.

uncomment the following two lines in /usr/bin/thunderbird:

#MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1
#export MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO
