[Blindmath] MathML: JAWS does not render greek symbols or minuses and NVDA doesn't render any formulae/symbols

After getting IT/Matt to debug/troubleshoot, we have the same issue, where:
JAWS will not read greek symbols, e.g. rho and alph or minuses
NVDA will not read any of the formulae or symbols.

Please find 5 page test sample XML containing MathML here: http://goo.gl/XdKCu

Windows 7 x86, Internet Explorer 8, and MathPlayer 2.2

JAWS 12
o ρ=0
Rho greek symbol isn’t reading

H1:ρ>0 or H1:ρ<0 or H1:ρ≠0
Rho greek symbol isn’t reading at all

t=n−21−r2 with d.f=n−2
not reading minuses

(n≥3)
Not reading greater than or equal to correctly, just equal to

H0:ρ=0.
Not reading rho

n≥
not reading greater than/equal to

t=n−21−r2
not reading minuses


NVDA 2012.1
Not reading any of the symbols/formulae, only text
