The story is more complicated... :(

Even though I see some placement on screen (in gv or page) I get a
different result when printed. E.g., the on screen wrongly placed sqrt
sign gets printed ok, while one of the big brackets though good on
screen prints wrongly. Furthermore, now page displays different things
than gv.

I hoped that with postscript one can achieve the same results
everywhere, but it actually seems difficult...
