Definitely a needed product. I've seen too many people creating geometry tests in M$Word. Would be great to see this actively developed. For now, I noticed that x^2 leaves a space between x and the superscript 2. Would be a (hopefully easy) improvement to have the space removed.

Thanks! I just pushed a commit to fix it. I actually destabilized it a little when I refactored to start writing unit tests. I won't be publishing a new binary right away, but it should be soon. Also working on a cert to avoid the unknown developer warning.

Great! I already found the variable that defines the space to add before an exponent and recompiled and it works great now. It would also be nice if variables were displays in a maths font (or at least in italics). Looks like you've done quite a bit of the rendering work from scratch though so maybe this is more difficult.
