In comp.text.tex from Aug 3, Una Smith asks about LaTeX and Mathematica.
The problem is that the postscript that Mathematica generates is not
standard postscript.  It uses higher level operators that are built
into Mathematica's postscript interpreters so from within Mathematica
the files can be printed, or displayed.  However, when a file is created
that will be sent to a printer outside of Mathematica (like when
you merge it with a TeX file), you must make the definitions of the
higher level operators available to the printer.  Under Unix, Mathematica
has a command psfix (actually a shell script) that tacks the definitions
onto the file and then the file can be printed or embedded in a TeX
document.  psfix also has an option to create an Encapsulated Postscript
file.
I'm not sure how this problem is handled on the Macintosh or any other
system.

Hope this helps.
