Now that we have this bug fixed, we don't need to consider any of these alternatives. But not having correct bounding boxes for the PDF mathtext expressions is a problem worth fixing. What is the status of this: tried and impossible, tried but haven't figured it out, haven't tried, etc? Jouni, is this something you could take another look at? In a perfect world, we would have mathtext format our math using the pdf backend for the mathtext expressions in the spirit of "what you see is what you get", but I don't consider this to be a high priority now that users can build some docs (html) w/o a latex install. Since building PDF requires latex anyhow, using our own mathtext is only a marginal benefit.
