On: Word processors are ditching equation editors in favour of LaTeX

[red_trumpet]

I think the favorites are xelatex and lualatex. I normally use xelatex, because it handles Unicode well and can use otf or ttf fonts. Not sure about lualatex, but I heard it's nice to have Lua as a Scripting Backend.

XeLaTex uses the same text shaping engine Firefox uses, that's why it looks so much better than the default latex.

Lualatex also has good unicode and support through fontspec.
