I refer to http://9fans.net/archive/2011/12/113. I would expect TeX to produce the best math results.

I would completely disagree :) LaTeX is very good readable (IMO better than e.g. troff -ms), PlainTeX is totally unreadable to me (I'v used it for a longer time.) Ok, lets close this thread for now. I look at your posts regarding the brackets and for the root sign problem, that may take some time. Cheers, Carsten
