The important advantage of ISO 10646 and Unicode is that they are
extensible character sets.  New mathematical characters are created, and
when they get significant use, they are allocated code points.  Witness
the new characters in 3.2, for encoding Z.

Resorting to PNG causes problems in that the semantics of the characters
are not known.  This may not be a problem for Fenfire and friends,
though.
