[comp.sys.mac] equation processing

I have a couple of comments on equation processing:
   
1. You can raise or lower imported graphics one 
point at a time in Word 3.0x by selecting the graphic, 
hitting command-D, and designating the graphic as a super 
or subscript. Note that the screen representation is 
often cut off. To see how the imported graphic will print, 
use page preview and the magnifying glass.

2. MacEqn 2.1 is a **major** upgrade from version 2.0. 
Selection is much easier (though still not perfect) and you 
can drag selections around the screen. There is also a user-
definable palette so you don't have to keep changing fonts. 
It also takes up 60k on your disk, nearly three times as
much space as the earlier version. Definitely worth the $12 
for registered users. (Though you might keep a copy of the 
earlier version in case you prefer the smaller size).

Does anyone know if Laserwriter versions of the Machias and 
Lovell fonts are available? These are very useful technical 
fonts based on the Boston font.
