You know, I have no clue if this is going to help or not, because I
have no experience whatsoever with typesetting systems (other than
using them), but have you considered looking at the source code for
TeX/LaTeX front-ends? I would suspect that they have to deal with
the very issue you're dealing with. One of the best TeX front-ends
for the Mac is TeXShop and it's open-source, so you should be able
to peruse its source. You might also want to contact some of its
developers and code contributors.

Going further, since TeX can layout formulae, you could incorporate
the code or call it to handle the task, then just display the result.
