I thought Paul's concerns only apply to the document output, not the preview. I would not mind if the preview would not use the font of the document output. My point was: having instant preview should not be at the cost of the output quality, thus the splitted approach (original LaTeX code for the output, graphics for the preview [only]). Jürgen
