* Notice
  • MathMagic v5.42 or newer does not come with a native installer anymore. MathMagic on Mac OS X can now be installed manually by Drag&Drop. For the details, please refer to the "Manual Install" document in the disk image, or Installation Guide from
    http://www.mathmagic.com/download/documentations.html

  • MathMagic PS fonts are not included in the installer anymore. If you need PS fonts, please contact MathMagic customer support team with your Customer #.


* What's New (v5.63)
  • Changed: TeX files can be drag&dropped onto MathMagic application icon to open directly without going thru Import process.
  • Changed: StyleSet... item added to StyleSet popup menu on the Main toolbar for easier StyleSet management.
  • Changed: Personal Edition's Default fonts for Operator&Symbol, and FactorySetting are now set back to MM~ fonts from MMa~ fonts.
  • Changed: Factory Default value of "Keep LSB~" check box is now ON.

  • Fixed: Line spacing for multi-lined equation was incorrect when non % unit is specified in Define Spacing -> Line Spacing pane.
  • Fixed: Crashes when undo after deleting, typing, or pasting on a backward selection.
  • Fixed: Some dialogs did not accept 'return' or 'enter' key for the default OK button.
  • Fixed: TeX files were not selectable from Open or Import dialog on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.
  • Fixed: Line thickness of diagonal fraction and slash fraction were incorrect in a certain places.
  • Fixed: Saving font name for empty boxes in EPS file handled better.


  • Note for OS X 10.5 Leopard users regarding Magic Control key: Magic control keys on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard may conflict with 'Spaces' feature if you use the default control-1~4 shortcut keys of Spaces. This can be avoided by assigning a new modifier key from "System Preferences" -> "Expose & Spaces" -> Spaces tab. Even after this reassigning, control-3 or control-4 may not work properly as a magic control key. In this case, please open "System Preferences" -> "Keyboard & Mouse", then uncheck "Screen Shots" group, then check it again. This will forward the control-3 and control-4 magic key to MathMagic.

Please read Version History for the details.
