Product Description:

MathMagic Pro Edition for QuarkXPress is an equation editor mainly for use with QuarkXPress v5.0 ~ 6.0 software in editing any mathematical expressions and symbols with WYSIWYG interface and various powerful features that meet DTP quality. It comes with
  • a MathMagic Pro application for Mac OS X & Classic
  • a MathMagic XTension for QuarkXPress 5 for Mac OS
  • a MathMagic XTension for QuarkXPress 6 for Mac OS X
    (MathMagic XTension for QuarkXPress 4.1 will be available later for free)
  • many fonts in TrueType and Postscript formats

What's new in this version:


  • Added: New MMa MathMagic fonts are included.(Body text fonts are in OpenType format. Symbol fonts are in TrueType format)

  • Added: 'Size' floating window is added under Window menu for the live equation size information of the current window while editing.
  • Added: 'Symbol' font and other Greek fonts(non-MMGreek keymapped) are now supported in L.C. Greek and U.C. Greek styles.
  • Added: Left & right circled arrow integral templates in the Integral template palette.
  • Added: Size of Circle or circled arrows for circled integrals can be adjusted in Define Spacing dialog.
  • Added: MathMagic Fonts now include a full set of vertical integral symbols including variable sizes.
  • Added: Vertical integral symbol supports for variable size integrals.
  • Added: Integral sub-box location can now be shifted left or right in Preferences->Large Operator(Sum, Integral, ...) setting pane.
  • Added: Different file format(newer or older) alert can now be on or off in Preference->Misc. pane.
  • Added: +10% and +1% items added to View menu for various view rates.
  • Added: Accents to subscript/superscript templates is now supported.
  • Added: "Make Default" button added to Change Size Unit dialog.
  • Added: Available fonts are checked when a document is opened and it alerts when any used fonts are not available in the system.

  • Changed: The default font that MathMagic refers to the em ('M') size for spacing is changed from "Times" to "MMTimes" because some OS X users do not use Times any more. The em size of MMTimes is a little narrower than that of Times. So there might be some layout reflow if you used some space values based on em size. If this is a problem for you please contact customer support team.
  • Changed: The common MathMagic Preference file is devided into versions and named as: MathMagic Personal 5 Pref, MathMagic Pro 5 Pref, and MathMagic Prime 5 Pref.
  • Changed: 'q' size items changed in Size for frequently used items.
  • Changed: Default space character selection moved to Shape pane from Misc pane in the Preference dialog.

  • Fixed: When pasted in Adobe Illustrator, the equation's left-top corner was far-left.
  • Fixed: Binary operator symbols were not recognized as Single operators when they come after some of Relational symbols.
  • Fixed: The values of "Superscript After Gap" and "Subscript After Gap" were not applied when a template is followed.
  • Fixed: The height of superscript that comes after subscript box was not correct.
  • Fixed: Embellishments/upper accents on a Greek character moved to the center for MMGreek font and TS Greek font.
  • Fixed: The circle size of variable integrals(entered with shift key pressed) was smaller than regular integral's.
  • Fixed: The double or triple variable O-integrals did not have correct width of the circle.
  • Fixed: Character accents inside a template accent did not displayed correctly.
  • Fixed: Line spacing Increase/Decrease button on Main toolbar now refers to its original unit, rather than Display Unit.
  • Fixed: Subscript box location displayed wrong when inserted from Useritem toolbar.
  • Fixed: The preview image of EPS export Overprint black setting in Preferences->Spacing -> Export margin pane was wrong.
  • Fixed: Bigger/Smaller size button(up/down triangle) clicks now increase or decrease by the same unit which is specified in Size menu.
  • Fixed: Deleting template accents and Undo/Redo of the deleting action did not work properly when more than one components are in the box.

  • Fixed: MathMagic XTension crashed sometimes when non-MathMagic equation EPS objects are in the document.
  • Fixed: MathMagic XTension did not save equation EPS files when the QuarkXPress document name was longer than 26 bytes.

    MathMagic Pro for QuarkXPress CommentaryOdd naming convention - Version: 6.05, 1/24/2009 06:28AM PST

    It might be prudent to consider renaming this product "MathMagic Pro 6.04 for QuarkXpress". As it stands, it appears to be an add-on for a long-discontinued version of XPress. This applies to the InDesign version too. At least I was confused. =)

    MathMagic Pro for QuarkXPress ReviewIs InDesign the winner? - Version: 5.3, 1/13/2006 09:13AM PST

    Why no review for this, while Mathmagic pro for Indesign has several?

    We are now using both QXP and InDesign, to meet our clients' request.

    MathMagic Pro application seems to work quite same for both QXP and Indesign but QXP's text engine works better with the Inline graphics(those equation objects as well).

    MathMagic Pro solution itself is great in terms of ease of use, productivity, and equation quality for publishing. The only barrior is the price.

    Someone is actually wasting their time producing plug-ins for a product that runs on OS9/Classic, a DEAD product at that? Folks, the action is all over at Adobe's lemonade stand. Quark is pffffttttt!
