I didn't even know you can save in bmp format. Does png format work
better?

Not a very useful error message, given that it sets the values of the
sym and num variables just before reporting the error. In current svn
the line corresponding to your 749 is commented out, so if you could
try either with the svn version or just comment out the line in your
version, you would get a more useful diagnostic. The code looks like

        if latex_to_bakoma.has_key(sym): ...
        elif len(sym) == 1: ...
        else: ... raise ValueError(...)

so it looks like you have used a symbol that mathtext doesn't know
about and that isn't a single letter. I'm guessing that could mean a
misspelled backslash command or a parsing problem like I mentioned in
my previous email where "\tilde{}" is seen as "\tild".
