Use Grapher to embed equations in Pages and Keynote
Authored by: jeremit0 on Mar 28, '07 07:51:13AM

You can change the font used. Go to Preferences and click on the the Equations button on top. Click in the "Default Font & Size" window and the standard OS X Font chooser window will pop up. You can select any font and size on your system.

Yes there is. Get Latexit.

Actually, it presumes you have a tex installation, but you can just install MacTeX which is really easy to install, includes a full tex distribution and latexit:
http://www.tug.org/mactex/

It allows you to type the latex equation, and it will generate a little pdf with just that equation. You can then drag it into keynote, powerpoint, etc..

For those unfamilar with Latex, it allows to type equation with syntax such as:
w^{n_{\log_2 m}}
which would be w all to the exponent of n with a subscript on the exponent of log base 2 of m. That kind of thing. It's got different fonts/sizes, any greek symbols, about a gazillion operators, etc..

Texfog (http://homepage.mac.com/marco_coisson/TeXFoG/index.html) is a GUI for the formula editor - brilliant stuff
