A while back I posted an inquiry about a technical
wordprocessor for the Mac. Many people were kind enough
to reply that Macwrite could be used for technical wp
by using the built in subscript feature, and adding
appropriate fonts. I even got a copy of the Princeton
Fonts, and it does indeed work reasonably.

However, this approach has its problems. Only one level
of subscript is possible in general (2 in some special
cases). Building oversize symbols on separate lines is
not really very convenent. 

Does anyone know of efforts to produce a word processor 
which supports technical wp more generally?

As a related question, has anyone done a DITROFF filter for
previewing TROFF output on the Mac?
