   We are looking for a good equation editor. We have used MacEqn, and don't
particularly like the user interface. I have the demo disk for MathType,
and the one shortcoming is that is does not permit fonts larger than 24,
even though we have such fonts. This can be a pretty severe shortcoming for
making overhead slides, and expanding the equations in a drawing program
is not the way to guarantee consistent sizing.
   Expressionist was the third equation editor reviewed in the April
MacWorld, and they mention that its large symbols don't look very good.
Can anyone tell me, though, if it can make use of user-supplied large fonts?
Has anyone out there tried to use it for overheads, and what were the
results?

    Thanks.
