MathType™ Application developed by Design Science, #1 market share in

low/med-end word processors market since its debut in 80’s. Similar interface with MathMagic. Targeted for word processor

quality. Insufficient quality & feature for heavy users and highend Desktop publishing.

No Quark XTensions/InDesign plugins available. Inconvenient switching between QXP/InDesign and MathType if dealing with many equations. Time consuming task for re-editing. Many unexpected EPS errors.

Can MathMagic import equations created with MS Word Equation Editor or MathType? Yes, in many ways. Just copy and Paste MathType equaitons into MathMagic. Or, Copy

equation as TeX or MathML by changing clipboard format in Preference menu from MathType, and Paste it into MathMagic window..

MathMagic also supports Batch conversion of MS Word documents(.doc, .docx) to extract equations.

Do the Service bureaus need to buy MathMagic or its fonts for printing? If the service bureaus just need to view and print QXP or InDesign documents with

MathMagic equations, MathMagic license is not required. Other documents containing MathMagic equations in PDF, PICT, WMF, JPEG, or EPS formats, can be printed without MathMagic.

If onsite equation editing is required, they need to purchase a MathMagic license. Is MathMagic Mac file compatible with MathMagic Windows version, or vice a

versa ? Yes. MathMagic file(.mmf) can be shared on both Mac & Windows. But there might be

some layout mis-match over platforms so the preflight checking is strongly recommended before any critical printing. Equation EPS files should be cross-platform if the same fonts are installed on both.
