I guess we need a bit more information on your constraints. There are  
various ways, as you probably found out already. For example, one very  
easy way would be to make a screenshot of the equation you want to  
display, and drop it into Squeak ;)

E.g. does it need to work on all platforms? Does the font have to be  
in the image? Do you just want to display, or type, too? Which image  
are you using? Which VM? Etc. pp.

Until we have proper font and input support in a release it is  
somewhat complicated. Then of course it becomes easy.

One way I like particularly is this:
