Start by putting this into a tex file called a.tex: http://pastebin.com/8Tx92S5L 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 -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
