Zooming works, but personally I would prefer bigger boxes for entering equations. What
about a separate zoom for the equantion editor?
Another suggestion: putting the mathematical symbols on a toolbar instead of a
separate dialogue would make it easier to enter equations, as one would not have to
click in the main window in order to give it back focus.
