Looking around for this on the swiki, but couldn't find exactly how I could display greek letters easily in squeak (that is for a presentation). Also, would like to display math equations as well.
thanks much.

I guess we need a bit more information on your constraints. There are various ways, as you probably found out already. For example, one very easy way would be to make a screenshot of the equation you want to display, and drop it into Squeak ;)
E.g. does it need to work on all platforms? Does the font have to be in the image? Do you just want to display, or type, too? Which image are you using? Which VM? Etc. pp.
Until we have proper font and input support in a release it is somewhat complicated. Then of course it becomes easy.
One way I like particularly is this:
http://tracker.squeakland.org/browse/SQ-283
It's the result of a recent discussion on the etoys-dev list:

yes, but I could restrict it to windows if I had to.
Does the font have to be in the image?
that would be preferable since I'm creating at home and using the school's computers for display
Do you just want to display, or type, too?
Yes, I'd like to be able to easily write it out in a text box, unless there is an easier way.
Which image are you using?
3.10, but I'll switch to whatever is best.
Which VM? Etc. pp.
The one that comes with 3.10 on windows and mac (from the squeak.org site)

Ah.. thanks!
Any ideas on math equations?

The hack below should be cross-platform.

In that case, see if this still works:

Yes, I'd like to be able to easily write it out in a text box, unless there is an easier way.
The above "hack" should allow this.

Hi Brad,
I wrote a LatexMorph a while back, to do exactly this. It grabs the output of Latex and displays it in a morph. K K Subramaniam ("Subbu") made extensive improvements, among others making it behave like a proper EToy (which my version never did.)
I had a screenshot up at http://www.tesujimath.org/squeak/LatexMorph
but you really should use Subbu's much improved version, at http://www.squeaksource.com/LatexMorph/
Enjoy!
cheers, Simon
THANKS!
