Have you tried one of the seperate formula creators like MathScript or EqEd?
I find EqEd particularly good and use it all the time with FW for my
engineering reports. You have to make some changes to the init.ps file
which are explained in the docs. You can the import the formulas as EPS
images which FW will print on any printer. EqEd is supplied with a postscript
symbol font which you can also use directly in FW.

EqEd and MathScript are on Aminet:

EqEd.lha           misc/math  396K  MUI-based Equation Editor v0.96-Beta
MathScript21.lha   misc/math  253K  Mathematical Formula Editor. V2.1

I would also like to thank Woody and all the people at Softwood for their
continuing Amiga support. I have used FinalWriter regularly since version 1
and it has never let me down. I wish them all the best for the future!
