Well, this makes quite a lot of color problems to solve :) While
solving the earlier one was easy, I do not have much time to
investigate this (and moreover this is Alejandro's code).

Well, spaces are added in a systematic way after commands to avoid
problems like \limf (which is different from \lim f). While this is
not necessary with the braces, I am surprised that this can cause
LaTeX errors. Could you give an example?

Don;t know.

The symbol font of X11 does not know about \epsilon, but only has what
looks like \varepsilon. So \epsilon is displayed like \varepsilon, and
\varepsilon is not displayed. Strange.
Since mathed uses X11 fonts for all display, you cannot simply add a
bitmap. So this problem will only be solved if/when mathed is changed
to use real TeX fonts.

I plan to do something like that for toolbar icons.

This seems too difficult for the benefit...

What do you do to obtain that?

Itto.

This one is hopefully solved now.
