This totally sucks I know.
talking of which, is there some image-format supported by abi which stores line-strokes instead of bitmaps? it would save a lot of space if the equations could get converted into such an image-format. are there thoughts in that direction? in other word-processors there is usually a built-in editor with proprietary image-formats (i.e. not all do use .wmf drawings). what will abi support for line-drawing, and when?
