Hello! I've just upgraded both operating system (Fedora 17) and Xwiki to 4.0 RC-1 and got an issue with the formula macro. Whenever I use it, the resulting image created is 1020x1320 pixels big, mostly empty except for the (correctly sized) formula placed in the bottom left corner of the .png image.

The renderer uses a three-step process, tex->dvi, dvi->ps, ps->png. Let's try them out in order:
latex --interaction=nonstopmode a.tex
This should produce a.dvi, which should be a very big page with only the formula in the center, no other text. Check if there are any errors displayed there. Try without --interaction to make latex stop at errors.
dvips -E a.dvi -o a.ps
This should produce a.ps, which should be tightly cropped around the formula. If it isn't then there's a problem, maybe dvips doesn't support the -E parameter.
convert -density 120 a.ps a.png
This should produce a.png, having the same size as the ps.
For reference, here's what I have locally (texlive installation):
$ latex --version pdfTeX 3.1415926-2.3-1.40.12 (TeX Live 2011) kpathsea version 6.0.1
$ dvips --version This is dvips(k) 5.991 Copyright 2011 Radical Eye Software
Thanks for the quick reply. My texlive seem to produce a PostScript file that displays okay, but somehow the convert step sets the canvas size to 1020x1320 Adding a -trim parameter to will work around the problem, such as: convert -trim -density 120 a.ps a.png I'll look for a mention of this behavior for Imagemagick shortly (need food) (Sorry for messing up the thread, I guess..) ----- For reference: The files I produced: http://www.mediafire.com/file/6qv8tty0pn1nyz0/formula_test2.tar.bz debug output of convert-step: http://pastebin.com/FdJPEYwr convert -version Version: ImageMagick 6.7.5-6 2012-03-06 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2012 ImageMagick Studio LLC Features: OpenMP latex --version pdfTeX using libpoppler 3.141592-1.40.3-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.6) kpathsea version 3.5.6 Compiled with libpng 1.5.8; using libpng 1.5.10 Compiled with zlib 1.2.5; using zlib 1.2.5 Compiled with libpoppler dvips --version dvips(k) 5.96.1 kpathsea version 3.5.6 -----
