A couple of other options, depending on what you need (JEuclid will
probably do what you need).
I haven't had to do this on a big project, but I had MathML I needed in
laTeX (created images I needed from that). There's a nice converter at
from MathML to TeX at https://webwork2.math.ohio-state.edu/xalan/index.php
You may also check out this post from Oxide interactive. They've got a
nifty example of converting mathml to an image if the browser doesn't
support the actual rendering (source and demo are down the page).

includes a command-line tool for converting MathML to a variety of different
image formats.

Code4Libbers--
To support some commercial e-books that we load locally and publish to
our users with XTF, we need to handle formulas marked up in MathML.
For their own web site, the book publisher farms this out to a
third-party vendor that somehow converts the MathML to inline images
for
display in HTML pages. The publisher is unable or unwilling to tell us
what their vendor uses for the job.
I'm all for sending MathML down the pipe (caveat browsor), but our
e-book guru hasn't been able to slip it through XTF. If that isn't an
option, does anyone know a tool to convert possible large sets of
MathML
formulas to PNG (or GIF) images? I've run across similar converters
for
LaTeX, but not MathML.
