SVG Math, an open source python >> script, can turn MathML into (basline adjusted) SVG. Indeed Fop uses Batik to handle SVG, but it doesn't rasterize them; meaning that for vectorial output formats like PDF the SVG will be rendered using vectorial drawing operators. As for MathML rendering, there is a plugin named JEuclid [1] which renders MathML to SVG, which then is processed by Batik. It had been abandoned for a while but I think the development has restarted. The whole chain may still lack a bit of maturity, but for simple enough formulas this may already work well. I haven't tried myself. HTH, Vincent [1] http://jeuclid.sourceforge.net/
