Chrome Browser, Mac OS and LaTeX

Oh dear, something's awry with the interaction of LaTeX with the Chrome browser. The latter is not rendering variables in italics as it should. Figure 1 shows a screenshot of part of a post I made to my Mathematics blog. It was taken using the Safari browser and everthing looks fine.

Here's the same screenshot but this time taken within the Chrome browser.

It's not a major issue and everything else still works fine but it's a little annoying as I much prefer the italicised rendering of variables. It only has to do with Chrome on a device running the Mac operating system. The variables display properly on Chrome running on my Raspberry Pi 400 and even on Chrome running on iOS. Hopefully future updates will address this issue.
