I'm sure a lot of you out there use Expressionist for math equations--I'm using
it extensively and for the most part, find it to be wonderful.

I have run into one problem however. Using v2.03, some equations when pasted
into WriteNow 2.2 cause "collisions" on the laser printed output. What I mean
is that parts of the equation overwrite each other, or the preceding or
following text in the WriteNow document. Following the ususal math typesetting
rules, the equations are italicized, so I use the Times Italic font
extensively. I have the Adobe Times fonts, which is what Prescience recommends
anyway.

After a little experimentation, I found that Expressionist was not handling the
italic font's width correctly. I have to constantly "tweak" the equations with
thin spaces and the like, and it's getting tiresome. Has anyone else had this
problem? Any suggestions?

A call to Prescience wasn't much help. According to them the problem would go
away if I stopped using fractional widths ("printer spacing" in WriteNow). I
was rather shocked to learn that Expressionist doesn't support fractional
widths. I was told to send for the latest version (v2.07), but it wasn't clear
they even understood my problem.

So once again I turn to this knowledge base. :-) Thanks in advance for any
help/advice.
