Well, the TeX fonts aren't that beautiful by themselves; what makes TeX beautiful is the kerning. Evidently what these guys do is like what happens with latex2html etc: they run a TeX process in the background and somehow display the DVI output. I would bet that this is not a good way to get fast redisplay.... The Changelog (http://www.math.u-psud.fr/~anh/TeXmacs/web/Web/bugs.html) had some suggestive entries; I don't think we could consider integrating this in the forseeable future. OTOH, we might be able to port (it looks to be a VHLL built on C++) some of the code for creating appropriate DVIs and rendering them into subwindows.... Andy?
